Middle East tensions escalate as Hezbollah strikes Israeli military base in retaliation for Iranian leader's death. The militant group launched rockets at a facility near Haifa on Monday, marking the first attack since November ceasefire negotiations. Israel responded with dozens of airstrikes on Beirut's southern suburbs, triggering mass evacuations from Lebanon's capital. The renewed conflict threatens significant disruption to global oil markets, with potential ripple effects on fuel prices worldwide. Nuclear negotiations between the USA and Iran remain stalled as disputes persist over Iran's nuclear infrastructure and missile programs. Analysts warn this escalation could trigger the worst regional crisis in decades, impacting energy security and economic stability across multiple sectors.
