US-Iran Conflict Escalates Amid Diplomacy; Ukraine Strikes Russian Logistics

The US-Iran conflict is escalating, with confirmed US military strikes against Iranian maritime capabilities and President Trump confirming ongoing negotiations alongside a two-week campaign of daily airstrikes. Iran has threatened to target regional energy infrastructure and block oil exports if US strikes escalate to domestic infrastructure, leading to a surge in global oil prices above $100/bbl. Concurrently, Ukraine has conducted significant drone strikes against Russian energy, logistics, and defense infrastructure, including the sole ejection seat production facility.
