The United States has launched a new wave of military strikes against Iran, with US Central Command confirming that approximately 90 military targets were hit.
Iranian authorities reported that a US projectile struck the area surrounding the Bushehr nuclear power plant, marking a significant escalation in the conflict.
Tehran stated that at least 14 people were killed and 78 others injured in the attacks over the past two days.
The proximity of the strikes to the Bushehr facility introduces acute geopolitical risk to global energy markets.
Investors are likely to price in heightened supply disruption risks, particularly for Brent crude, which has been sensitive to Middle East tensions.
The incident follows a period of deteriorating relations, with Iran's foreign ministry accusing the United States of breaching a ceasefire agreement in the preceding 48 hours.
