A fragile ceasefire between the United States and Iran has effectively collapsed, with both sides now engaged in renewed military exchanges across the Persian Gulf. Both sides claimed to have hit the other's vessels at the Strait of Hormuz and nearby waters.
The United Arab Emirates also reported that it was targeted by a barrage of Iranian missiles and drones—an incident that has widened the conflict and heightened fears of a broader regional war. UAE authorities said an Iranian drone sparked a fire at the Fujairah Petroleum Industries Zone, wounding three people.
