## Resource

U.S. launches fresh strikes on Iran’s coastal defenses and missile sites, escalating tensions as Trump declares the U.S. the “Guardian of the Hormuz Strait,” demanding 20% cargo fees from ships using the vital waterway. Iran retaliates by attacking U.S. allies Bahrain and Jordan, while three commercial vessels—including two linked to the UAE—are attacked, killing one and injuring eight. A Dutch ship also suffers an attack in the Arabian Sea. With a fragile 60-day truce unraveling and regional diplomacy at risk, the U.S. and Iran edge closer to full-scale conflict.
