Event Summary

The United States launched airstrikes against Iran, which retaliated by firing at countries in the region hosting United States troops, including Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan. This escalation threatens to derail peace negotiations, with United States President Donald Trump warning Iran will 'pay the price' for stalled talks. The conflict, which began on February 28 with attacks by the United States and Israel on Iran, has driven up global energy prices, with Petroleum trading above $92 a barrel. Iran is leveraging its ability to potentially close the Strait of Hormuz as a bargaining chip, while Israel, led by Benjamin Netanyahu, continues its campaign against Hezbollah in Lebanon, complicating efforts for a comprehensive peace deal.
