US and Israel War with Iran Reaches First Month

The military conflict initiated by the United States and Israel against Iran has officially reached its one-month mark, causing severe global economic disruptions. The ongoing war has heavily impacted international energy and food markets, primarily due to the de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf. High-ranking Iranian officials and thousands of civilians have reportedly been killed in the bombardments, prompting retaliatory strikes across multiple neighboring nations. To address the escalating crisis, diplomatic initiatives are underway as the foreign ministers of Türkiye, Pakistan, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia gather for a summit in Islamabad, Pakistan, to discuss potential peace strategies.
