US Central Command says it intercepted multiple Iranian ballistic missiles fired at US forces late Tuesday, breaking a multi-day pause in direct strikes. The attack came hours after President Trump claimed progress in peace talks, pushing the six-month conflict back into active escalation.
A two-day halt in US airstrikes on Iran and Iranian retaliatory attacks on US bases followed active diplomacy by Pakistan, Turkey, and Qatar. US officials also cited Patriot missile shortages and internal caution as factors behind the pause.
Houthi rebels claimed a missile strike on the Saudi city of Jizan on Saturday, escalating a conflict that now threatens both of Saudi Arabia's main oil export routes simultaneously. The flare-up adds pressure on US-Iran talks as the five-month-old war continues to widen across the region.
The US has paused nightly airstrikes against Iran amid reports of shrinking Patriot interceptor stockpiles and internal White House concerns about escalation risks. The break has revived diplomacy prospects, but Iran's Strait of Hormuz blockade and Houthi attacks on Saudi Aramco sites keep the conflict active.
US forces completed a seventh straight night of strikes on Iranian military and logistics sites while Iran hit US bases in Kuwait and Jordan. Oil prices surged over four percent as both sides actively disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, threatening one-fifth of global oil supply.
The US struck Iran for a third consecutive night, hitting coastal missile and maritime sites, while Iran's IRGC fired missiles and drones at US military facilities in Bahrain and Jordan. Trump reimposed a blockade on Iranian ports and announced a 20 percent cargo fee on the Strait of Hormuz, effective Tuesday evening.
The US struck Iran for a second straight day Monday, hitting air defences, radar sites, and missile capabilities across southern Iran. Iran's Revolutionary Guards retaliated with missile and drone attacks on US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Oman, sending oil prices up more than 3.5 percent.
Iran and the US traded fresh strikes over the Strait of Hormuz, with Tehran hitting US bases in Bahrain and Kuwait and Washington striking Iranian sites near Sirik. The exchanges threaten to collapse a Pakistan-brokered ceasefire signed June 18, with global oil markets exposed to renewed Hormuz disruption.
Iran's IRGC struck US military facilities in Kuwait and Bahrain on Sunday for a third straight day, while Trump threatened Iran would "no longer exist" if the US resumes full war.
US forces struck Iranian missile, drone, and radar sites after Washington accused Tehran of attacking a commercial ship in the Strait of Hormuz, while Iran's Revolutionary Guards retaliated against US positions in the Gulf.
Israel struck IRGC military targets in Tehran on June 13, 2026, hours after Iran fired ballistic missiles at the Ramat David air base, ignoring a public appeal for restraint from President Trump.
The Israel Defence Forces confirmed missiles were launched from Iran toward Israeli territory and warned a third barrage may follow. India has advised its citizens to leave Iran as the direct military exchange between Iran and Israel escalates rapidly.
US forces shot down Iranian drones near the Strait of Hormuz and struck radar sites in Iran, prompting Iran's Revolutionary Guards to fire seven ballistic missiles at Kuwait and Bahrain. The exchange threatens a ceasefire in place since April 8 and keeps a critical global energy chokepoint at risk.
US forces shot down four Iranian drones and struck a control station near Bandar Abbas; Iran's Revolutionary Guard responded by targeting a US airbase. Oil prices jumped more than 3 percent as the exchange threatened the fragile ceasefire in place since early April.
US military strikes on Iran, including the downing of four drones and a hit on a control centre in Bandar Abbas, pushed Brent crude up 1.8 percent to $95.95 on Thursday.
US forces have struck southern Iran while military command says it will maintain restraint under an ongoing ceasefire. President Trump separately declared that Iran's enriched uranium will be destroyed, signaling strikes may target nuclear stockpiles with major consequences for regional stability and oil markets.
Saudi Arabia secretly launched multiple retaliatory strikes against Iran during the Middle East war, confirmed by two Western and two Iranian officials. The covert campaign, never publicly acknowledged by Riyadh, signals direct state-on-state conflict beyond what the public record of the war showed.
President Trump is meeting China's Xi Jinping to press Beijing to reduce its support for Iran and help reopen the Strait of Hormuz. China is Iran's largest oil buyer, making its stance critical to both the conflict's trajectory and global energy prices.
Prime Minister Modi has urged Indians to reduce fuel use, overseas travel, and gold purchases as the Middle East conflict threatens India's heavily import-dependent energy supply. A broader war involving Iran could pressure the rupee, widen the trade deficit, and push up domestic fuel prices.
China's April trade data beat forecasts despite risks from the US-Israel war on Iran, which had raised concerns about disruptions to shipping routes and energy imports. The result offers temporary relief but the conflict's trajectory will determine whether the resilience holds.
