U.S. and Iran exchange attacks in Strait of Hormuz and Middle East

After a month-long period of relative calm, military tensions between the U.S. and Iran have escalated dramatically with renewed attacks in the Strait of Hormuz and Iranian retaliation against U.S. targets in the UAE and Jordan. This marks the first significant exchange of fire between the two nations since July 29, signaling a breakdown in the temporary de-escalation.
