Iran’s surprise missile barrage at U.S. forces in the Middle East shattered a fragile truce, with all missiles intercepted — but tensions are far from over. Weeks of escalating hostilities, centered on the vital Strait of Hormuz, reignited as Saudi Arabia shot down Iranian-backed drones and Houthis forced a Saudi tanker to alter course, deepening the blockade. While a June ceasefire held briefly, Iran’s attempts to control shipping lanes and extort fees continue, forcing vessels to reroute under U.S. watch. Iraq is now probing claims its soil was used for drone strikes, as Iran-backed militias deny involvement. Meanwhile, Israeli PM Netanyahu’s high-stakes visit to Washington with Trump seeks to solidify their alliance amid mounting domestic pressure — as the region braces for more volatility.
