US-Iran Military Escalation Amid Ceasefire Breakdown
The US and Iran are conducting reciprocal military strikes despite an ongoing ceasefire agreement, with the US targeting Iranian military sites and Iran's Revolutionary Guards retaliating against US bases. Kuwait and regional allies have come under drone and missile fire, while diplomatic negotiations to resolve the underlying conflict remain stalled. This represents a critical escalation of the three-month conflict with implications for global energy markets and Middle Eastern stability.
