Iran and the United States have traded strikes in the Strait of Hormuz, escalating tensions and raising fears the fragile ceasefire could collapse. Washington says its action was in response to an Iranian drone attack on a cargo ship, while Tehran calls the strikes a clear violation of the agreement. With multiple incidents reported in recent hours, concerns are growing that the conflict could spiral once again. DW News spoke with Ross Harrison, a senior fellow at the Middle East Institute and author of “Decoding Iran’s Foreign Policy.”
