US resumes military strikes on Iran as ceasefire collapses and Iran attacks UAE tankers in Strait of Hormuz.
The US military conducted strikes against Iran for three consecutive nights starting July 11, 2026, after President Trump declared a ceasefire 'over' on July 9. Iran's Revolutionary Guards claimed responsibility for missile attacks on two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, killing one crew member and wounding eight. The US announced a naval blockade of Iranian ports, while oil prices surged over 9%.
