US-Iran Tensions Escalate as Ceasefire Broken After Iranian Attacks

The US and Israel jointly attacked Iran on February 28. The war paid off, not just for these three countries, but for the entire world. But now sparks seem to be burning once again. The agreement was signed on June 17 after several rounds of talks between the US and Iran, but US President Donald Trump has broken this ceasefire after Iran attacked ships in Hormuz. President Trump declared the ceasefire with Iran to be over on Wednesday, July 8. After Haran attacked tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, Trump ordered the US military to attack Iranian bases. Iran attacked three tankers in Hormuz this week. The US responded with about 90 strikes on Iranian military bases and then Tehran claimed to have carried out 85 retaliatory strikes on Bahrain and Kuwait. Trump signed the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Iran on June 17 at the Woody Palace in Versailles, where the then 107-year-old MOU officially ended the First World War (the Wilson Palace).
