The U.S. and Saudi Arabia launched joint airstrikes on Iran-backed groups in Iraq on July 29, resuming American military operations after a brief pause. Iran's simultaneous rejection of an Omani plan to manage the Strait of Hormuz removes a key de-escalation option and keeps energy supply risk elevated.
US forces have struck targets closer to Tehran than at any point in the current conflict, while Iran has hit Kuwait and Jordan and a tanker was struck in the exchange. The geographic expansion raises immediate risks for Persian Gulf oil shipping and pulls Arab states with US military ties into the crisis.
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.
President Donald Trump declared the U.S.-Iran ceasefire over and the U.S. struck Iran amid threats of a Hormuz Strait blockade. A disruption to the strait, through which roughly 20 percent of global oil supply flows, could send energy prices sharply higher worldwide.
Oil prices jumped roughly 3% on Monday after Iran expanded strikes to hit Qatar and the UAE, threatening a fragile interim U.S.-Iranian agreement. Traders are pricing in higher supply disruption risk across one of the world's busiest energy corridors.
President Trump declared the Iran ceasefire "over" and ordered new U.S. retaliatory strikes after Iranian forces attacked unarmed commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Trump added he is "not sure" he wants a deal with Iran, closing off near-term diplomatic options and raising oil market risk.
