The relentless barrage of attacks by Israel and the United States against Iran has yet to subside, with the latter retaliating with missile strikes.

In a coordinated series of strikes, Hezbollah militants claimed responsibility for hitting Israeli military units stationed in the Ainata region of southern Lebanon, while simultaneously unleashing rocket barrages against the Israeli towns of Malkia and Metula in the north.
As the conflict in Iran escalates, President Trump is poised to give a significant address, with the potential to further fuel rising oil prices.
In a swift response to a potential threat, Saudi Arabia’s air defence systems successfully intercepted and neutralized a ballistic missile that was on a trajectory towards the Eastern Province, according to the country’s Ministry of Defence.
Hezbollah has asserted responsibility for launching a salvo of rockets at Israeli military installations in the vicinity of Kiryat Ata, a location situated east of the city of Haifa, which Israel has occupied.
The forthcoming prime-time address by Donald Trump is expected to provide clarity on the status of the conflict in Iran. The question on everyone’s mind is whether the proposed ceasefire is a genuine offer from the Iranians, and if so, what led to this development. Although it’s unlikely that Trump will delve into the specifics of the Iranian offer, his statement is likely to reaffirm his previous assertions that the war in Iran has been effectively won. This sentiment has been echoed on multiple occasions, with the most recent instance being on March 9 when Trump first announced the war’s conclusion. As he prepares to address the nation, Trump is expected to outline the timeline for winding down the conflict, which he has previously suggested would take around six weeks. With four weeks already having elapsed, the remaining two weeks are likely to be the focus of his address. In an interview on Tuesday, Trump hinted that the withdrawal could occur within the next two weeks or possibly a few days sooner or later. The address will also touch on the economic implications of the conflict, including the impact of oil supply issues on prices. In the United States, concerns about inflation are on the rise, while the stock market has shown a mixed response to the prospect of a conflict resolution.
Reports from Channel 12 indicate that a central Bnei Brak incident resulted in four individuals sustaining minor injuries, with two of the victims being seven-month-old infants.
The escalating US-Iran conflict is taking a toll on American wallets, with average gas prices soaring to $4 per gallon (3.8 litres) this week, a level not seen since 2022. The economic strain is a stark contrast to the swift military interventions championed by Trump, who has touted his successes in high-profile operations such as the 2019 killing of ISIL leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the 2020 assassination of Iranian general Qassem Soleimani, last year’s bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities, and the January abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. However, these actions had limited domestic impact, unlike the ongoing Iran campaign, which is now sparking growing economic anxiety among voters. As Trump addresses the nation tonight, he faces mounting pressure to address the rising petrol prices and the potential inflation and recession that some economists warn may follow. The US’s inability to loosen Iran’s grip on the Strait of Hormuz suggests that a unilateral declaration of victory from the White House will not resolve the issue. Furthermore, escalating the conflict may not provide relief, and the energy markets appear to have become desensitized to Trump’s reassurances that the war will soon be over, despite a temporary dip in prices in the initial weeks of the conflict.
