Why has the US restarted strikes against Iran now?
The United States launched a third consecutive day of strikes against Iran, targeting its military capabilities in the Strait of Hormuz to degrade attacks on commercial shipping. President Trump emphasized controlling the strait and suggested potential strikes on Iran's Pickaxe Mountain near Natanz, while Iran claimed to target U.S. bases and the UAE reported two national tankers struck by Iranian missiles.
