Iran-US Escalation Threatens Global Energy | Galway News

Iran has launched retaliatory strikes on U.S. allies in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan, escalating tensions after a week of U.S. military strikes on Iranian targets. Tehran warns of a “full-scale offensive” if attacks continue, claiming civilian casualties and accusing the U.S. of targeting non-military sites. Kuwait’s oil and power infrastructure suffered damage, Bahrain’s air base was targeted but defended, and Jordan intercepted missiles—all while oil prices surged and regional instability deepens. Both sides now target shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, with Iran blocking vessels and the U.S. enforcing a naval blockade. The conflict shows no sign of de-escalating, as Iran threatens to halt regional oil exports and the U.S. frames its strikes as strategic moves to give President Trump more options—raising fears of global energy disruption and wider war.
