US-Iran ceasefire under strain as tensions escalate in Strait of Hormuz

The tenuous ceasefire between the US and Iran is under threat as tensions escalate in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran fired cruise missiles and drones and deployed small boats targeting US-flagged ships, while the UAE intercepted Iranian missiles and drones. President Trump warned that Iran would be ‘blown off the face of the earth’ if it attacks US vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.
