Middle East crisis live: Trump says no reason for US to secure strait of Hormuz and war will end in ‘two or three weeks’
/100
The article reports multiple simultaneous escalatory incidents across the Middle East: Iranian-linked attacks on shipping (a Kuwaiti tanker set ablaze off Dubai), missile and drone launches against Gulf states and Israel, Israeli strikes on targets in Tehran and Lebanon with Israeli ground combat in southern Lebanon killing soldiers, and the killing of UN peacekeepers in Lebanon. Combined with US threats against Iranian energy infrastructure and disruptions to traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, these events materially raise the risk of further regional escalation and wider conflict affecting energy routes and UN missions.
