Editor Roula Khalaf outlines how the FT is covering the Iran conflict |
On Saturday, the US and Israel launched a massive attack on Iran, the second in less than a year. The strikes killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, and set the stage for a conflict that has escalated across the oil-rich Gulf. Under the fire of bombs and missiles, populations are trapped and business is paralysed. As Iran is pounded, it has retaliated with missiles and drones raining down on its neighbours in the Gulf as well as Israel in the hope of weakening America’s resolve for war. Oil and gas shipments through the strategic Strait of Hormuz have dried up, sending prices soaring.
