Pentagon dismissed U.S. Army Chief of Staff

The United States Defense Department has confirmed the dismissal of General Randy A. George, Chief of Staff of the Army, after Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth called for his resignation in view of the obvious differences in strategy in the war against Iran.

Meanwhile, attacks on the various fronts of the war continue this Friday as oil prices continue to rise in the face of a five-week continuation of the conflict. Following Trump's speech, Tehran has responded with attacks on US and Israeli interests. Iran has said it has the capacity to take "stronger, broader, and more destructive actions" and has threatened to bring the conflict to new levels if US military pressure continues.

In this context, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard has claimed to have attacked and destroyed an Amazon computer center in Bahrain. The Revolutionary Guard has presented it as the first practical warning against large technology companies linked to the United States, having released a list of possible targets.

The global crisis is getting worse.

Convened by the United Kingdom, some 40 countries have agreed to work together with the International Maritime Organization, the UN body responsible for the safety of navigation, to free the approximately 2,000 ships trapped in the Strait of Hormuz, one of the most strategic shipping routes in the world, through which about 20% of the world's global oil flows.

China, for its part, has strengthened diplomacy in the region, while energy markets and global maritime transport feel pressure, showing that the conflict is spreading beyond the Middle East and affecting the world economy.
