US Strikes Iran Amid Escalating Tensions
Iran and the US are in a serious conflict.
The US has been attacking Iran for 11 nights because Iran attacked ships and killed American soldiers.
This is making oil prices go up and causing problems for global markets.

Now, the US is very angry and is hitting back hard.
Other countries are trying to find ways to not depend on Iran for oil.
This could make Iran weaker in the long run.
US military has launched 11 nights of strikes against Iran.
Iran's actions, including attacks on shipping and US forces, have escalated tensions.
The ceasefire agreement (MoU) is no longer in effect.
US President Donald Trump has warned of severe consequences for Iran's actions.
