Dalam Angka
Following the collapse of a fragile ceasefire between the US and Iran, military clashes have resumed. Iran targeted two United Arab Emirates (UAE)-flagged oil tankers navigating the southern waterway of the Strait of Hormuz, located in the waters of Oman, with cruise missiles. While one Indian crew member lost their life in the attack, eight people were injured; the UAE condemned the incident as a violation of international law.
Following this development, the US military conducted a series of airstrikes against facilities supporting Iran's military infrastructure and attacks on commercial vessels. US President Donald Trump announced that they would reimpose a naval blockade on Iranian ports to prevent Tehran from using maritime trade to finance its military activities. Despite this, Trump stated that a diplomatic agreement might still be possible.
All these events have caused fluctuations in global energy markets; oil prices surged sharply by nearly 10 percent amid concerns that the conflicts could further disrupt energy shipments through the Strait of Hormuz. Officials warned that while there are no broad restrictions for daily life in the UAE, residents in the region should be prepared for increased security measures and potential flight delays.
