However, tensions persist in the Middle East between Iran and the United States, with disputes over the Strait of Hormuz leading to a surge in oil prices.

The conflict between Israel and Palestine has also intensified, drawing mutual accusations at the UN General Assembly.

Concurrently, the Russia-Ukraine conflict continues, with reports of Russian attacks on Ukraine.
