The US military has struck again in Iran.
It's the third round of air strikes we've seen in recent days as an interim deal to end the Iran war looks more in danger than ever before.
Iran had attacked a ship in the Strait of Hormuz, a container ship.
It caught fire and the crew abandoned it.
The US immediately launched these air strikes afterwards targeting some 140 sites in Iran.
This is the highest number of strikes that we've seen over these days of air strikes.
Now, in response Iran apparently retaliated with strikes targeting Qatar, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates today.
Now, Iran has made a lot of other claims as well.
Everything seems pretty scattered.
What is known is that missile alert sirens went off in those three countries.
It remains unclear if any damage has been done.
All this is coming as there had been hopes that negotiations would resume over trying to reach a permanent end to the Iran war.
But, the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf through which about a fifth of all natural gas and crude oil once passed in peacetime, is central to the ongoing tensions.
Now, Iran insists it must have sole control over the Strait and be able to charge vessels going through it.
That would upend decades of world belief that this is an international waterway despite it being in the territorial waters of both Iran and Oman.
