The ongoing conflict between Iran, the United States, and Israel has significantly jolted the world economy, primarily through its impact on the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for oil and gas. The instability and threats of further escalation create uncertainty in energy markets and could lead to increased oil and gas prices, affecting global supply chains and consumer costs.

A regional war has erupted following the killing of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei by the United States and Israel five weeks ago. The conflict involves thousands of airstrikes by the United States and Israel across Iran, targeting military and internal security forces, and resulting in over 1,900 casualties. One notable strike hit a religious community center in Zanjan, killing two people and destroying a clinic and library. Donald Trump, as U.S. President, has threatened to bomb Iran and issued a deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for oil and gas. Iran's leaders remain defiant, rejecting U.S. peace proposals, while Israel calls for the overthrow of the Iranian leadership. Despite the widespread destruction and global turmoil, daily life continues in much of Iran, though fear and anxiety are prevalent.
