'Broken for good': New Iran strikes spark concerns about fragile economy for analyst
The U.S. military announced Tuesday it had launched "powerful strikes" against Iran — something an analyst signaled could be a sign of what repercussions are to come.CNN White House reporter Adam Cancryn told CNN anchor Jake Tapper and senior White House correspondent Kristen Holmes during a live report that a military official said these attacks were meant as "punishment" after Iran attacked three commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. Cancryn warned that the retaliation could have a direct impact on Americans."At least in the immediate term here, it means more uncertainty when it comes to energy prices," Cancryn said. "So, we've already seen, as a result of these economic sanctions, sanctions being now reimposed, the global oil prices, and markets going up once again. The real risk here again is how the Iranians respond, whether they end up closing the Strait of Hormuz again, which, over the last few months, really pushed the price of oil and the price of gas at the pump up."The attacks also put the current ceasefire into further question while Trump was in Turkey, which borders Iran, for a NATO summit where world leaders were planning to discuss the Strait of Hormuz and the ongoing conflict."The concern here is that the ceasefire that we've had these last few weeks is maybe not as solid as people hoped it would be, that it's fragile, it could be broken. It could be broken for good," he added. "That's the real concern here that we end up in this standoff when it comes to the shipment of oil through that Strait."

Trump admin sets off internet firestorm with new strikes in Iran: 'Never had a real deal'
President Donald Trump's administration resumed open hostilities against Iran on Tuesday, abandoning the soon-to-expire ceasefire memorandum after declaring Iran to be in "clear violation" for attacks on commercial ships, and striking back against multiple targets.The news prompted an explosion on social media, with many of Trump's supporters cheering the new attacks on, but others being less confident or supportive."Not much collective understanding of the memorandum of understanding," wrote The Bulwark's Sam Stein."Not just strikes, but powerful strikes," wrote Rory Johntson of CommodityContext. "Not just costs, but heavy costs; And they mean business because it's a long way from the weekend.""FIFA Peace Prize winner making a big move during the World Cup," wrote Grant Stern of Occupy Democrats."This US strike on Iran is much heavier than previous retaliatory strikes over 20 explosions in [Bandar] Abbas alone," wrote the WarMonitor account."Trump never had a real deal," wrote policy consultant Adam Cochran. "He just wanted headlines for his birthday — so of course it fell apart.""Trump's Iran War seems be resuming," wrote New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof. "Aside from the air strikes, the US has revoked the lifting of oil sanctions on Iran. This is more than a blip but not clear (to me at least) if we're headed back to full war or some darker shade of the gray area inbetween."
