Tensions intensified over the weekend after US forces struck targets on Iran's Larak Island near the Strait of Hormuz. Iran retaliated with missile and drone attacks against sites used by US forces across the region. The US-Israeli war against Iran began on Feb. 28, with attacks targeting military, nuclear and infrastructure sites across the country. Iran responded with missile and drone strikes against Israel and US military facilities across the region. Washington and Tehran signed a memorandum of understanding on June 18 concerning freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, but its implementation has stalled amid disagreements over security arrangements in the strait.
