US-Iran-Israel War
The United States and Israel have resumed full-scale war with Iran after President Trump declared the June 17 Versailles peace agreement's ceasefire over on July 8, following Iranian attacks on commercial ships and U.S. bases in the Gulf. Trump launched massive new airstrikes on 90 military sites across Iran, including the Bushehr nuclear plant, while Iran has effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz, trapping 150–700 vessels and halting over 11 million barrels per day of Gulf crude.
