According to France 24, Iran attacked US military targets in the Middle East on Monday in retaliation for American strikes on an island in the Strait of Hormuz. This marks the first exchange of fire between the two sides in a month.\n\nThe conflict has been ongoing for six months, with Iran maintaining a blockade of the strategic Strait of Hormuz and the US responding with a naval counter-blockade, as reported by the Toronto Sun.\n\nThe situation remains tense, with oil prices up and stock markets mixed, according to Fortune.",
