Serious hostilities between the United States and Iran have resumed. On July 8, President Donald Trump declared that the ceasefire agreed to by both countries in June was “over.”
Since then, Trump has ordered the US military to carry out intensive airstrikes on Iran. He has also reimposed an economic blockade on the country.
These actions signal that the US president is running out of diplomatic options. The renewed conflict marks a sharp escalation after a brief period of calm.
Analysts say the move could further destabilize the region. No new diplomatic talks have been announced.
