As the conflict enters its fourth week, military movements have escalated across multiple fronts. Iran's Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) targeted the Mina Al-Ahmadi refinery in Kuwait with drones, leading to unit shutdowns. In retaliation for Iranian missile barrages toward Jerusalem and Haifa, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched a new wave of airstrikes on regime infrastructure in Tehran. US President Donald Trump has threatened to strike Iranian power generation facilities if free navigation through the Strait of Hormuz is not restored within 48 hours. Iranian officials, including the Speaker of Parliament, warned that any attack on their power plants would result in the irreversible destruction of energy and oil infrastructure across the entire Gulf region. Meanwhile, the US has authorized a $7 billion arms sale to the UAE and is deploying additional Marines to the region. Oil prices remain volatile, with Brent crude trading around $113 per barrel.
