The story so far

The conflict escalated today as Donald Trump ordered new strikes against Iran. The Wall Street Journal and CBS News report that the US and Israel are preparing to target energy-related infrastructure in Iran. The Middle East is on edge as tensions rise.

The strikes are expected to target Iran's energy sector, which is crucial for the country's economy and global oil supply. The conflict has already had significant impacts on regional stability and global energy markets. The US and Israel have been collaborating on military operations against Iran, with both countries viewing Iran as a major threat.

The new strikes will likely affect Iran's ability to produce and export oil, potentially leading to further disruptions in global energy markets. The international community is watching closely, with many countries calling for de-escalation. The next steps will depend on Iran's response and the broader geopolitical dynamics in the Middle East.
