Middle East war back on? UAE responds to fresh attacks, US and Iran trade fire
Middle East
So the UAE finally retaliated after those Iranian strikes on Friday. But Trump’s trying to downplay it all and keep the ceasefire—sounds like a real mess in the Strait of Hormuz.
Three US destroyers targeted in the Strait of Hormuz, and Trump orders strikes then says the ceasefire holds. How can you have a ceasefire when missiles are flying?
Douglas Herbert’s analysis probably nailed it: this is more brinkmanship than all-out war. But the UAE striking back makes me wonder if Iran will escalate further.
