Meanwhile, Human Rights Watch accused Israel of using white phosphorus over residential areas in southern Lebanon.
The conflict also rattled global markets. Crude oil prices witnessed extreme volatility over the last 24 hours, swinging sharply from multi-month highs to a steep correction as geopolitical sentiment shifted.
On March 9, global benchmark Brent Crude Oil surged above $115 per barrel, briefly touching levels near $119, as the escalating conflict involving Iran, Israel, and the United States sparked fears of major supply disruptions. The spike was driven largely by concerns that shipping through the Strait of Hormuz — which handles roughly 20% of global oil supply — could remain blocked for an extended period.
