How to lose against Iran [View all]

The fragile ceasefire in the Middle East was at risk of complete collapse on Tuesday after attacks on the UAE and exchanges of fire in the Gulf.

US secretary of defence Pete Hegseth insisted the truce was “not over”, despite the latest drone and missile strikes against the United Arab Emirates and clashes in key shipping route the Strait of Hormuz.

But Tehran warned “we are just getting started”, amid fears that the United States is unable to resolve the conflict it began alongside Israel more than two months ago.
