A widening U.S.-Israeli war with Iran has seen major strikes, missile fire across the region, and fresh fears for global energy and markets. On Wednesday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says a U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship with a torpedo in international waters near Sri Lanka. Officials report more than 1,000 dead in Iran, over 50 in Lebanon, and about a dozen in Israel. The United Nations says 100,000 people fled the Iranian capital in the war’s first two days alone. Oil prices have jumped as shipping traffic through the key Strait of Hormuz has dropped sharply.
