The United States has continued its strikes on Iran for a third consecutive night. The development coincided with President Trump's announcement of a 20% charge as part of a new blockade on the Strait of Hormuz.
The United Arab Emirates issued a sharp condemnation of Iran's attack on tankers, calling it "brazen." The statement reflects growing security concerns among Gulf states and unease over threats to maritime trade in the region.
