- The United States launched new airstrikes on Iranian targets around the Strait of Hormuz.
- The strikes followed a weekend exchange of fire, the first between the sides since July.
- The six-month conflict has increased global energy prices and weighed on President Donald Trump’s domestic popularity.
The United States launched a new barrage of airstrikes against Iranian targets around the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday, threatening to reignite a six-month conflict that has already driven global energy prices higher.
The strikes came after the two sides exchanged fire over the weekend. That confrontation marked their first exchange since July, adding to concerns that the conflict could flare up again.
The fighting has also carried a political cost for President Donald Trump, whose popularity at home has been weighed down by the conflict. The latest attacks risk extending both the military confrontation and its economic impact through the energy market.
