## Resource

The Strait of Hormuz has erupted into a new flashpoint as Iran and the U.S. clash over control, with Iran attacking a container ship and the U.S. declaring it now under American authority — a claim Iran fiercely rejects. Amid a fragile 60-day ceasefire negotiation, escalating attacks have reignited fears of a wider war, triggering missile alerts in Bahrain and Kuwait, downed Iranian missiles in Jordan, and casualties in Iran. The U.S. retaliates with strikes on Iranian military sites, while global powers urge restraint and freedom of navigation — but de-escalation now feels more like a distant dream.
