Iran-US tensions escalate amid threats and counter-threats
Iran has condemned a US strike on Qeshm Island and vowed a firm response, while also warning against "flames of war" amid US threats to strike energy sites. The US, under President Trump, has threatened further strikes on Iran and warned of widespread bombings. Iran claims to have shot down three F-35 fighter jets. The conflict is expanding beyond Iran, with concerns over depleted US interceptor missiles and a potential entanglement with the Ukraine war in the Caspian Sea. The Iran war is also projected to add at least $1 billion to South Asia's LNG bill.
