The fragile ceasefire in the Iran war is under strain after the U.S. attempted to reopen the Strait of Hormuz for commercial shipping, triggering Iranian retaliation against the UAE.
- The U.S. military established an "enhanced security area" and two American-flagged ships transited the strait on Monday.
- Iran accused the U.S. of violating the ceasefire and warned of a "new equation" in the waterway.
- The UAE reported intercepting 15 missiles and four drones, with one drone causing a fire at an oil facility in Fujairah. - President Trump vowed to reopen the strait forcefully, while Iran demands the U.S.
lift sanctions and end its blockade. The situation remains volatile, with global energy prices soaring and international calls for restraint.
