The United States has been conducting attacks on Iran for the twelfth consecutive day, signaling a breakdown in the ceasefire agreed upon in April. Despite the prior truce, hostilities between Iran and the US have recently resumed. Details regarding the nature and scope of these attacks remain limited, but the escalation marks a significant shift in the dynamic between the two nations. The renewed conflict raises concerns about regional stability and potential further escalation. It is unclear what prompted the US to restart attacks after the period of calm, or what Iran’s response will be. The failure of the April ceasefire suggests ongoing deep-seated tensions between Washington and Tehran.
