There are no serious national events at this time.

An active and escalating military conflict between Iran and Israel presents immediate risks, with Iranian ballistic strikes on Israel and Israeli operations against Iranian targets unfolding as both nations reject ceasefire proposals and the US considers direct involvement. The conflict has damaged Gulf energy infrastructure and triggered global fuel shortages with sharp increases in US gasoline prices. Multiple major powers are positioning strategically with nuclear escalation risks, and the situation could rapidly deteriorate within days.
