The fighting has extended well beyond the Israeli-Iranian theater. In early 2026, Iranian forces and aligned groups launched attacks on U. S.

-Israeli operations against Iranian military and suspected nuclear-related targets.

Civilian risks have risen on multiple fronts, with reports of casualties, infrastructure damage, and displacement

Energy markets have shown volatility amid concerns over potential disruptions to oil production and shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Diplomatic initiatives to curb the violence have faced setbacks as both sides signal preparedness for further actions.
