Global markets were shaken as the United States intensified its military campaign against Iran, advancing faster than anticipated and triggering a surge in energy prices. The coordinated US–Israeli strikes targeted Iranian missile sites and air‑defense systems, with American commanders describing the operation as progressing “ahead of the game plan.”

More than 20,000 flights were canceled throughout the Middle East, prompting governments to rush to repatriate stranded travelers. 

As the conflict entered its fifth day, analysts warned that extended instability in the region could have far‑reaching economic consequences. With Iran positioned at a vital chokepoint for global oil shipments, even short‑term disruptions risk amplifying inflationary pressures and slowing global growth.
