What happened
The United States and Israel conducted military operations against Iran. Separately, Donald Trump announced the suspension of a planned military strike against Iran after Tehran and other Middle Eastern countries requested time to finalize a peace deal. A report from the Congressional Research Service also indicated that over 80 U.S. military aircraft have been destroyed or damaged during the conflict with Iran.
Why it matters
The regional conflict involves disputes over Iran's nuclear program and impacts on oil flows. The suspension of strikes, contingent on a deal that includes the immediate and full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, affects regional stability and potential energy market dynamics. Furthermore, the cost of military losses is estimated by the Congressional Budget Office to be between $1.9 billion and $3.3 billion.
