Missiles, drones and warships have pushed the fragile US-Iran ceasefire to the brink. American destroyers came under attack in the Strait of Hormuz, while Washington launched retaliatory strikes on Iranian military targets. Tehran accused the US of violating the truce first by hitting civilian areas and oil vessels near the strategic waterway. The renewed fighting also triggered fresh attacks on the UAE and sent global oil prices soaring above 100 dollars a barrel. Even as President Donald Trump insists the ceasefire is still alive, both sides are warning of stronger retaliation. Is West Asia heading towards another major war?
