US and Iran trade strikes as both sides accuse the other of endangering ceasefire
ONP Summary
The US military conducted multiple strikes targeting Iranian military installations including missile and drone storage facilities and radar systems, in response to Iran's attack on a commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran subsequently launched retaliatory missile and drone strikes against US military bases in Kuwait and Bahrain, representing the most serious escalation of the conflict since both nations signed an interim peace agreement two weeks earlier. Each side accuses the other of violating ceasefire terms.

Moderate: Centrist outlets focus on the escalation dynamics and the risk of the conflict spiraling out of control, treating the ceasefire breakdown as a technical violation that threatens stability in the Persian Gulf region.
