28 Mayıs 2026France 24

Iranian state television has broadcast images purportedly showing missiles being launched at a US air base, which had previously conducted a strike on Iran's Bandar Abbas. This incident marks the most significant exchange of fire since a ceasefire was established in April.
The escalation occurs against the backdrop of ongoing negotiations aimed at ending the conflict and reopening the crucial Strait of Hormuz.
The missile strike comes after a period of relative calm following an April ceasefire, indicating that underlying tensions remain unresolved. The Strait of Hormuz is a key chokepoint for global oil transport, making stability in the region essential for international trade and security.
This missile strike represents a critical moment in US-Iran relations, highlighting the fragility of the current ceasefire and the potential for renewed hostilities. With ongoing talks to resolve the conflict, this escalation could complicate diplomatic efforts and raise tensions in an already volatile region.
