Iran and the US exchanged missile strikes this week, while Israel’s defense minister threatened “crippling” attacks on Iran’s infrastructure, including energy facilities. Meanwhile, US Vice President JD Vance said the US does not plan to hold peace talks with Iran until it stops attacking ships in Hormuz, adding to upward pressure on oil prices as Iran signals its determination to maintain a hard-line response to the latest US strikes.
