Welcome to our live report on day 17 of the conflict in Iran, as Tehran keeps launching drones towards nearby nations while US-Israeli involvement persists.

The United States mentioned that it carried out broad operations throughout Iran during the weekend, as part of a campaign that has now extended to Kharg Island, which handles nearly 90% of the nation’s oil exports.

The assaults persisted during an extended conflict regarding the critical Strait of Hormuz, where approximately 20% of global oil typically passes.

Iran has conducted strikes on oil and freight ships in the critical waterway, which has remained largely inaccessible, leading to a significant increase in global energy costs.

U.S. President Donald Trump stated that he is forming an international alliance to assist in managing the strait and guide vessels that are stuck to reduce oil expenses. Brent crude remains above $105 per barrel as of Monday.
