Trois attaques en 24 heures contre des navires à Ormuz, le Qatar accuse l’Iran pour l’une d’elles
world fr / draft
Tensions flared between the US and Iran after three commercial ships were attacked in the Strait of Hormuz. The US blamed Iran and launched airstrikes, also reinstating oil sanctions. Iran retaliated by striking US bases in neighboring countries and accused the US of violating a peace deal signed in June. US President Trump declared the ceasefire 'over,' calling negotiations a 'waste of time,' though some talks might continue. This escalation spiked oil prices and raised concerns about global economic stability. NATO allies debated their stance, with some defending US actions while others expressed worry about rising tensions. The situation remains volatile as both sides exchange threats.
