US-Iran-Israel War
A tentative peace deal between the United States and Iran collapsed on June 28, 2026, after Iran accused the US of violating the agreement, triggering renewed missile exchanges and strikes on Kuwait and Bahrain. Despite this escalation, both nations agreed to halt attacks and renew talks later that same day to address the dispute over the Strait of Hormuz, yet renewed hostilities erupted just hours later on June 29. The US retaliated against Iranian sites following an oil tanker attack attributed to Iran, while Iranian missiles struck US targets in response to reported strikes near the vital waterway.
