Oil reached $100 a barrel, 16 mine-laying vessels were destroyed near Hormuz, two tankers burned off Iraq, 3.2 million people were displaced, a 172-million-barrel reserve release was ordered, Asian markets crashed, the rupee hit an all-time low, and 700,000 fled Lebanon.
It matters because it shows how fast a regional war spilled into global markets and mass displacement.
