US Strikes on Iran: A Pattern of Escalation and Evasion The latest round of US airstrikes against Iranian targets has sparked widespread concern about the fate of the 60 day ceasefire agreement between the two nations.
The incident began with an attack by Iran on multiple ships in the Strait of Hormuz, followed by a retaliatory strike by the US, and finally, a response from Iran targeting nearby US military installations.
The timing is deliberate. With President Donald Trump at the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey, his comments about the ceasefire being "over" have added fuel to the fire.
