"The Iranian strike on the UAE was the second in 48 hours, and came shortly after the US defence secretary insisted the shaky truce was intact, despite the new increase in violence."
"Hegseth told a press conference on Tuesday the operation to encourage commercial ships to transit the strait was temporary and the truce was not over. 'We're not looking for a fight.'"
"Iran has threatened to deploy mines, drones, missiles and fast-attack craft, making passage through the strait too risky for commercial shipping."
"We know well that the continuation of the current situation is unbearable for the United States, while we have not even begun yet, Ghalibaf said in a social media post."
A ceasefire between Iran and the US is at risk following Iranian missile strikes on the UAE. This marks the second attack in 48 hours. US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated the truce remains intact despite escalating violence. The US military has destroyed Iranian boats and military assets while attempting to secure the Strait of Hormuz for commercial shipping. Iran's parliament speaker accused the US of violating the ceasefire, indicating ongoing tensions. The Strait of Hormuz is crucial for global oil supplies, and Iran has threatened further military actions.
