Tensions Escalate as Iran Activates Air Defenses
Just read that Iran activated its air defenses in Tehran for 20 minutes to counter drones. This happened as the U.S. faced a deadline to get Congress's approval for the war, but the White House says the ceasefire paused that clock. Iran's leader claims the U.S. suffered a 'shameful defeat,' while the U.S. is pushing for an international coalition to navigate the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran controls. Oil prices hit a four-year high, and the UN warns the strait closure is 'strangling the global economy.' The situation feels incredibly tense, with both sides posturing and civilians caught in the middle.
