US and Iran Exchange Strikes, Ceasefire Ends Amid Escalating Tensions

The ceasefire in the Middle East has been declared over following a series of retaliatory strikes between the United States and Iran. US airstrikes against Iran prompted Iranian attacks on American bases in Kuwait and Bahrain, further escalating regional tensions. President Trump cited Iranian aggression in the Strait of Hormuz, including attacks on shipping and GPS jamming, as the reason for ending the ceasefire, raising fears of a broader conflict.
