Iran Attacks UAE as US Try to Open Hormuz Again

Iran attacked commercial ships in and near the Strait of Hormuz on Monday. They also launched a series of missiles and drone operations against the United Arab Emirates (UAE). With both sides using opposing naval tactics, the most recent escalation is generally seen as the most severe conflict since hostilities between Tehran and Washington momentarily stopped.

They followed US President Donald Trump’s latest initiative to rescue standard tankers from the Strait of Hormuz. It has been a crucial energy chokepoint that has been mostly closed since the US-Israel assault on Iran started on February 28.

Iran’s unified military command openly declared that American forces “will be attacked if they intend to approach and enter the Strait of Hormuz.” They even clearly cautioned commercial ships against accepting any US offer.
