  • On Monday, August 31, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched ballistic missiles at King Hussein and Al-Azraq air bases in Jordan, retaliating for a U.S. strike on Larak Island hours earlier.
  • U.S. Central Command conducted a precise strike on Larak Island on Sunday, August 30, targeting Iranian rocket launchers observed preparing to deploy sea mines into the Strait of Hormuz.
  • Iranian state media claimed the strikes caused "heavy damage" to U.S. infrastructure, while The Jordanian Armed Forces reported intercepting eight missiles with no significant impact confirmed by U.S. assessments.
  • North Sea Brent crude prices climbed above $90 per barrel for the first time in a month, reflecting market reaction to renewed regional hostilities and heightened volatility in global energy supplies.
