Israel launched a series of military strikes on Iran, targeting a key petrochemical plant at the South Pars/North Dome Gas-Condensate field and killing two high-ranking Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commanders, Majid Khademi and Asghar Bakri. These actions come as Donald Trump's ultimatum for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz looms, with mediators from Egyptian, Pakistan, and Turkey attempting to broker a 45-day ceasefire. In retaliation, Iran fired missiles at Israel — Haifa, Israel, killing four civilians. The conflict has led to widespread casualties in Iran and Lebanon, with over 1,900 deaths in Iran and 1,400 in Lebanon. The Strait of Hormuz remains largely closed to certain vessels, causing Brent Crude prices to soar by 50% and significantly impacting global energy markets.
