Tensions between the US and Iran are escalating dangerously, with the IRGC effectively threatening to close the Strait of Hormuz—a move that could disrupt global oil supplies and trigger a sharp rise in energy prices. The US Senate's rejection of a bill to constrain military action against Iran signals a willingness to risk confrontation. Additionally, Israel's demand to clear US military aircraft from its main civilian airport reflects growing unease about possible Iranian retaliation, potentially straining US-Israel relations. These developments point to a volatile situation where the costs of conflict—both economic and human—are mounting.
