Strait of No Return The fragile truce between the US and Iran has ended with another exchange of strikes, raising concerns about the safety of commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
The escalation marks a new chapter in their long standing feud, which has seen both countries engage in a cycle of violence as they vie for control and influence in the region.
The situation is marked by competing claims: the US accuses Iran of targeting commercial vessels, while Tehran asserts it is defending its territorial waters against American aggression.
