The United States attacked Iran after an Iranian strike damaged a container ship in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran retaliated by targeting several Middle Eastern countries hosting US forces. This exchange of fire has endangered ongoing ceasefire negotiations between the two nations.

A fragile pause in the fighting has shattered as missiles, shipping threats, and fresh military strikes push the US-Iran conflict into a dangerous new chapter.
