There are no serious national events at this time.

An active and rapidly escalating multinational military conflict centered on Iran, Israel, and the United States is causing widespread regional destabilization, civilian displacement exceeding one million, and significant disruption to global energy and shipping supply chains. Market indicators show economic stress with crude oil and fuel prices surging amid limited diplomatic resolution prospects. Concurrent regional military incidents and weather hazards compound the threat environment.
