The latest round of fighting between the United States and Iran escalated with both sides launching increasing missile and drone attacks on each other. In the past two days, Iran launched missiles and drones toward American military facilities and allied countries across the Persian Gulf, hitting targets in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan.

The United States answered with several waves of air and naval strikes against Iranian coastal defenses, radar installations, missile launch sites, drone facilities, and vessels associated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. U.S. Central Command said American military forces struck one hundred and forty Iranian targets over the weekend.

The Strait of Hormuz has emerged as the key point of contention between the U.S. and Iran, and the strategic waterway has also become the flashpoint for continuing hostilities. While U.S. President Donald Trump declared that the strait was open, continued fighting between Iranian and American military forces has brought commercial shipping traffic to a halt. Global oil prices increased while negotiations between American and Iranian representatives showed little signs they could bring the war to a close…

Energy giants like Exxon and Chevron have been buying up land in America’s lithium hotspot. Now they’ve got a new neighbor. EnergyX just acquired 35,000 gross acres of high-grade lithium resources in the Smackover Formation, right next to Exxon and Chevron’s projects.

What’s really turning heads about this move is that EnergyX isn’t just competing for lithium-rich land. Their patented technology can extract up to 3X more lithium than traditional methods. That combination positions EnergyX to be one of the biggest lithium producers in America. Plus, General Motors has already invested along with other global leaders like Eni and POSCO.*

Great timing too, because the demand for lithium is projected to grow 5X by 2040. You can claim a stake in the lithium boom too. Invest in EnergyX.

The immediate confrontation began after Iranian forces attacked a Cyprus-flagged commercial ship that Tehran said had entered the Strait of Hormuz without authorization. Iran then declared the strait closed and demanded that vessels follow routes approved by a newly established Iranian authority. Washington rejected Iran’s claim of control and launched attacks it says are intended to protect freedom of navigation.

Iran targeted American military facilities in Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. Kuwait intercepted incoming missiles and drones, while Qatar temporarily raised its security-alert level. Bahrain, which hosts the U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet, faced renewed threats to military infrastructure. Jordan was affected because it hosts American forces and plays an important role in regional air defense. Oman, a nation with friendly relations towards Iran, has also found itself caught in the crossfire.

Negotiations between the United States and Iran are continuing, but their status is extremely uncertain. There appears to be a growing chasm between the Iranian officials conducting negotiations and the leadership in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, or IRGC. Because the IRGC reports directly to the Supreme Leader, they are not bound by any agreements the Supreme Leader does not personally approve. While Iran’s civilian government is trying to find a way to end the war, the IRGC appears intent on continuing it.

Initial assessments by the Trump Administration that the IRGC had been incapacitated now appear to have been incorrect. The exact number of forces in the IRGC is unknown, but it is likely in the hundreds of thousands, and they have hundreds of installations across Iran. The IRGC has retained the ability to launch significant missile and drone attacks, as evidenced by the strikes they carried out this weekend.

The Iranians have made it clear they do not trust the Trump Administration, and that they never considered the Memorandum of Understanding to be valid. President Trump has also suggested he doesn’t trust the Iranians at all, leaving the two sides with no clear path towards finding a way to bring the war to a close. With no willingness to compromise or trust the other side, sporadic outbursts of fighting are likely to continue.
