US-Iran War Live Updates: Fighting between the United States and Iran has intensified sharply, with both sides exchanging fresh missile and drone strikes on Monday. Iran says it has once again closed the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, while the US insists the international waterway remains open to commercial shipping. The latest attacks have reached Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, raising fears of a wider regional conflict. Washington has carried out fresh strikes on Iranian military targets around Hormuz, while Tehran has targeted US-linked military facilities across the Gulf and vowed to defend the key shipping route. The renewed violence has cast serious doubt on last month's interim US-Iran agreement, which was intended to reopen the strait and pave the way for a broader peace deal after 60 days of negotiations. President Donald Trump has declared the ceasefire effectively over, even as he says he remains open to talks. The escalating conflict has also disrupted one of the world's busiest energy corridors, pushing up oil prices and raising concerns over global trade. Iran has warned ships not to enter the strait without its approval, while the US says its forces are positioned to protect freedom of navigation. As military operations continue, Gulf nations are dealing with missile and drone attacks, civilian injuries and damage to critical infrastructure, while diplomatic efforts led by Oman, Qatar and other regional partners struggle to keep pace.
