There are no serious national events at this time.
A major Iran-centered conflict is actively unfolding with immediate military and economic consequences, compounded by escalating Russia-Ukraine tensions, China's aggressive posturing, and cascading global supply chain disruptions affecting fuel and food prices. Domestically, significant weather threats and elevated seismic activity continue across the United States and Pacific Ring of Fire. The convergence of active regional warfare, great power tensions, and supply chain breakdown creates significant risks to global and US economic stability.
