Iran has launched fresh attacks on U.S. targets, ending a brief lull and reigniting direct confrontation over the Strait of Hormuz. The resumption raises the risk of oil supply disruption through one of the world's most critical energy chokepoints.
US Central Command says it intercepted multiple Iranian ballistic missiles fired at US forces late Tuesday, breaking a multi-day pause in direct strikes. The attack came hours after President Trump claimed progress in peace talks, pushing the six-month conflict back into active escalation.
Iran has publicly claimed it carried out strikes on US military bases and warned of wider attacks across the Middle East. If confirmed, the escalation would immediately pressure oil prices and force a US military response, with broad consequences for regional security and global markets.
Iran struck Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan on Saturday as the US completed its seventh straight night of strikes on Iranian military targets. Oil prices rose more than 4 percent, and the Strait of Hormuz faces growing disruption risk, threatening global energy supplies.
Iran launched fresh attacks on U.S. Gulf facilities on July 18, 2026, the sixth consecutive day of direct military exchanges after last month's ceasefire collapsed. The sustained strikes raise immediate risks for Gulf energy routes and U.S. military installations in the region.
Iran's IRGC has threatened to shut additional global shipping corridors after closing the Strait of Hormuz, as the US reimposed a naval blockade of Iranian ports and launched a seven-hour wave of strikes on Iranian coastal targets.
The US launched a third round of strikes on Iran after the IRGC hit a Cyprus-flagged container ship in the Strait of Hormuz and declared the waterway closed. The blockade has pushed energy prices higher globally, with Gulf states reporting Iranian missile and drone attacks as Oman mediates talks.
Iran's new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei vowed revenge for his father's killing in US-Israeli strikes, hours after Trump threatened to "completely decimate" Iran if it acts on assassination threats.
Iran claims it struck US military bases in Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and Jordan in retaliation for American attacks, while burying Supreme Leader Khamenei. Washington has vowed to keep the Strait of Hormuz open, signalling readiness to use naval force to protect global oil flows.
US strikes on Iran sent Brent crude above $76 a barrel for the first time in two weeks, reversing a recent price slide. The move raises fresh fears about oil supply through the Strait of Hormuz, with direct consequences for fuel costs, inflation, and rate policy globally.
US Centcom struck over 80 targets in Iran and revoked Tehran's oil export licence after drone and projectile attacks hit three tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. Oil prices rose more than 3 percent, and Iran warned of a crushing military response, putting the fragile ceasefire near collapse.
Brent crude surged to $78 per barrel after the US launched fresh military strikes on Iran and President Trump declared the ceasefire "over." The move raises fears of supply disruption through the Strait of Hormuz, a chokepoint for nearly 20 percent of globally traded oil.
Brent crude rose 1% to $78.80 a barrel and WTI climbed to $74.26 as U.S. strikes on Iran extended an oil rally into a third day. Traders are pricing in the risk of disruption to Strait of Hormuz supply flows, a chokepoint for roughly one-fifth of global oil.
Funeral ceremonies for assassinated Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei began Saturday in Tehran, with authorities expecting up to 20 million attendees over six days.
Iran has attacked Kuwait and Bahrain in retaliation for US strikes, drawing two key Gulf US allies into the conflict. The escalation puts a reported US-Iran deal under serious strain and raises energy supply risk in a major oil-producing region.
The Nifty 50 has dropped over 7% since the Iran-US-Israel conflict escalated in late February, with some mid- and large-cap Indian stocks losing up to 50% in 100 days. Oil price risk, capital outflows from emerging markets, and sector-specific margin pressure are driving the steepest declines.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards struck a US-used air base Monday after US forces hit Iranian military sites over the weekend, continuing a pattern of exchanges despite a ceasefire in place since April.
The U.S. military struck Iranian radar and drone control sites over the weekend, calling it a self-defense action. Iran countered by claiming it hit an air base used in the U.S. attack, with both sides exchanging strikes even as talks to end the conflict continue.
Iran sent its reply to a 14-point US peace proposal through Pakistani mediators on Sunday, with state media saying Tehran's response focuses on ending the war and maritime security in the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump says the US-Iran ceasefire remains in effect, but Iran accuses the US of violating it by targeting Iranian vessels and striking coastal areas. The disputed claims leave the truce's status unresolved and raise the risk of renewed escalation.
