Tensions escalated in the Middle East after an oil refinery in Iran was struck shortly after a ceasefire agreement came into effect. In response, Tehran launched retaliatory strikes targeting locations in Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates, according to reports. The developments raise serious concerns about the stability of the ceasefire and the risk of a wider regional conflict. Despite diplomatic efforts to de-escalate, both sides appear to remain on high alert. The situation continues to evolve rapidly, with global stakeholders closely monitoring the potential impact on regional security and oil markets.
