On July 24, 2026, US military strikes in Iran reportedly killed 55 people and injured 645, according to Iran’s Ministry of Health.

This marks a severe escalation in the ongoing conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran that began in February 2026.

The operations have focused on Iranian military command centers and strategic sites, intensifying tensions linked to the Strait of Hormuz and attacks on commercial shipping.

Casualty numbers from Iranian officials have fluctuated, but the latest figures highlight the conflict's growing severity.

Market watchers are closely monitoring these developments, as the escalation could impact regional stability and economic indicators.

Statements from the Pentagon and President Trump, along with changes in military deployments, are key factors shaping expectations about a potential US invasion before 2027.

These strikes follow a broader pattern of increased hostilities that could influence global markets and geopolitical dynamics.
