On Sunday, Iran launched missile and drone attacks against Israel and Kuwait. This followed a statement by US President Donald Trump giving Iran 48 hours to make a deal or face severe consequences. The attacks are part of a larger conflict that began over a month ago with US-Israeli strikes and subsequent Iranian retaliation. The ongoing war has expanded throughout the Middle East, impacting the global economy, particularly due to Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz. Reciprocal economic strikes have also occurred, including an attack on an Iranian petrochemical hub that resulted in casualties.
