Global markets and UN Charter: Impact of Iran-US missile exchanges

A new round of missile attacks by Iran against US military bases has begun, according to DW (Deutsche Welle). Details are fluid, and authorities have not released confirmed casualty or damage figures.

The United States and Israel launched an attack on Iran on Saturday, with the first apparent strike near the offices of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, according to PBS NewsHour. The report also noted that Tehranโ€™s launches are cast as retaliation to those operations, while independent verification continues. Key institutions in focus across coverage include the United States Department of Defense and the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

Iranian forces say they have struck a US naval base in Bahrain, as reported by BBC News. Independent assessments of impact were not available at the time of publication.

Multiple Gulf Arab states that host US assets were targeted in Iranโ€™s retaliation, as reported by Al Jazeera. On-the-ground confirmation is evolving, and specific disruption details have not been fully disclosed in official readouts cited here.

Officials have offered sharply different legal justifications under the UN Charter. โ€œThe U.S. has begun major combat operations in Iran,โ€ said President Donald Trump, describing aims to neutralize missile capabilities and related threats, as reported by Business Insider.

Early expert analysis warns that escalation pathways could widen if proxy forces or maritime routes are drawn in, according to Chatham House. Their brief raises questions about deterrence goals and the prospects of a prolonged confrontation.
