A ceasefire between Iran and the United States has broken down following renewed attacks, escalating tensions in the Middle East. Hostilities resumed overnight with multiple locations in Iran reportedly targeted. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard responded with missile strikes. Reports indicate a US military base in Jordan was struck by missiles, allegedly resulting in the destruction of US warplanes. In response to the heightened regional instability, Iran has announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, prohibiting the passage of commercial vessels. While both sides haven’t definitively ruled out future negotiations, retaliatory strikes are currently underway across the region.
