## Resource

Tensions between the U.S. and Iran are soaring as both sides hurl escalating threats — from U.S. demands for Iran to declare the Strait of Hormuz open to Iran’s new leader vowing revenge for his father’s death. After Iran attacked three ships in the strait, U.S. airstrikes and retaliatory fire followed, with the president declaring a ceasefire but leaving military options on the table. Iran refuses to back down, insisting control of the strait and rejecting U.S. pressure to allow ships to pass — while also accusing Washington of breaking the interim oil deal. As talks with Qatar and Oman stall, the U.S. pushes for a nuclear deal requiring Iran to hand over enriched uranium, warning that failure could mean force to secure the material.
