US forces attacked Iranian military targets on Friday. They hit Kharg Island, which is important for oil. The US also attacked missile storage areas. Iran said it will fight back against American targets. A drone attack also happened in the UAE. This could cause big problems for oil prices.
The US attacks are a big change in the fighting. The conflict started about two weeks ago. US and Israeli forces attacked Iran before. The US said Iran tried to stop ships in the Strait of Hormuz. This strait is very important for oil. President Trump warned Iran about its oil. Iran said it would attack countries helping the US.
The fighting is already hurting global energy. A place in the UAE that exports oil had problems. Ships are not moving through the Strait of Hormuz. This makes people worry about supplies. Oil prices are going up a lot. This affects many economies. It also makes it hard to send important aid. A UN official asked for safe passage for aid.
The US attack on Kharg Island was large. Over ninety Iranian military places were hit. US Central Command confirmed the attacks. Sadly, many people have died. More than two thousand people have died, mostly in Iran. The fighting is spreading. The world is worried about this situation. Countries like China and France might help with a naval force. They want to make sure ships can pass safely. People need to stop fighting and talk to avoid more problems.
