Iran Warns of Long and Painful Response if U.S. Resumes Attacks

Iran has warned that it would launch “long and painful strikes” on U.S. positions if Washington resumes attacks, in a new escalation tied to the Strait of Hormuz and global energy markets.
The warning comes as the United States seeks international support to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important routes for oil and gas shipments. Disruption in the waterway has already increased concern over energy supplies and global prices.
Iran has also restated its claim over the strait, complicating U.S. efforts to build a coalition aimed at restoring secure shipping through the area.
The escalation comes amid the wider conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran, with markets closely watching whether renewed U.S. strikes could trigger a broader military response in the region.
Oil prices have remained volatile as traders assess the risk of a longer disruption to supplies. Any prolonged tension in the Strait of Hormuz could raise fuel, shipping and insurance costs, with possible effects on consumers and businesses in many countries, including Canada.
The latest developments place the crisis at the centre of global attention because it connects war, energy security and the cost of living at the same time.
