Iran Threatens World Tourism, Continues Missile Buildup Amidst War
Three weeks into an escalating war, the U.S. is sending more warships and Marines to the region, even as President Donald Trump indicated a desire to “wind down” military operations. Iran, meanwhile, has threatened to expand its retaliatory attacks to include recreational and tourist sites globally, raising concerns about a wider conflict and its impact on global energy supplies. Despite shifting rationales for the war from the U.S. and Israel, and conflicting signals from the U.S. president, Iran’s continued attacks on energy infrastructure and maritime routes are causing significant economic disruption worldwide.
