US-Iran Conflict Escalates with Strikes, Nuclear Warnings, and Economic Impact

The US-Iran conflict has significantly escalated, marked by US retaliatory strikes in Iran following Houthi maritime blockades and Iranian warnings against US action on its nuclear infrastructure.

The conflict's fiscal impact on the US is substantial, and regional supply chain disruptions are increasing.
