The Middle East conflict intensifies as Israeli military operations expand in southern Lebanon, particularly in Marjayoun, amid Iran's tightening grip over the Strait of Hormuz. Nearly 20% of global oil trade passes through this strategic route daily, raising concerns over supply disruptions. Diplomatic efforts to de-escalate tensions remain fragile as 3,020 deaths have been reported in Lebanon since the conflict began.
