What happened

Well supportedReported by 12 independent outlets

The US and Israel launched air strikes on Iran on February 28, 2026, prompting Iran to respond by attacking US and Israeli bases and blocking the Strait of Hormuz. The closure has caused wild fluctuations in prices, as 20% of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas used to pass through the strait. Separately, talks were held at the UN, mediated by Qatar, involving Iran's foreign minister and Donald Trump's envoy.
