Strait of Hormuz Crisis Escalates | Belfast News

Tensions are boiling over in the Strait of Hormuz as another tanker is attacked, forcing crew evacuation, while U.S. airstrikes on Iran enter their tenth night — shutting down shipping lanes and sending oil prices soaring past $88 a barrel. Iran’s interior minister is scrambling in Pakistan to de-escalate, but any interim deal is now dead. The human cost mounts: two U.S. soldiers dead in Jordan, one in Iraq, with more missing and over 100 injured since the strikes began. President Trump vows Iran will pay for every American life lost and heads to Dover for a ceremony. Meanwhile, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard claims responsibility for the attacks, while allies like Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain respond with defensive strikes and condemnations. The world watches as the conflict threatens global supply chains and election-season wallets. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
