On February 28, the United States and Israel began attacking Iran, including Tehran, causing damage and civilian casualties. Iran then retaliated by launching attacks on Israeli territory and American military bases in the Middle East.
Escalation around Iran has led to the suspension of traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, which is the main route for the shipment of oil and liquefied natural gas from Persian Gulf countries to global markets. The suspension of the line has an impact on the region's oil exports and production.
