Hormuz Ceasefire Fractures

The United States and Iran traded new strikes around the Strait of Hormuz, putting a fragile interim ceasefire under its most serious strain since it was reached. U.S. Central Command said American aircraft hit Iranian missile and drone storage sites, coastal radar, surveillance infrastructure and other military targets after Iranian drones struck or targeted commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, including Panama- and Singapore-flagged ships. Tehran retaliated with drone and missile attacks aimed at Bahrain and Kuwait, both home to key U.S. military facilities, while warning that further U.S. action could bring negotiations to a “complete halt.” President Donald Trump accused Iran of a “foolish violation” of the ceasefire and warned on Truth Social that U.S. patience could run out, as Gulf governments condemned Iranian attacks and the fighting threatened to pull the region back into open war.
