Trump again threatens Iran with warning it will 'no longer exist': What to know - https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2026/06/28/iran-war-ceasefire-deal-unravels-attacks-escalate/90729713007/
"WASHINGTON Tensions in the Middle East continued to escalate on June 28, with Iran targeting U.S. military bases in Kuwait and Bahrain and renewed hostilities in the region entering a fourth straight day.
The intensifying attacks further undermined the increasingly tenuous interim U.S.-Iran agreement to end the war.

(33,091 posts)1. There is no agreement to end the war
There is a cease fire agreement to give 60 days to negotiate a peace deal, which is not going to happen. After 60 days Iran has agreements between ME countries to allow safe passage through Hormuz after fees are paid.
Oman, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia are already negotiating these deals. If the US and Israel start bombing Iran again, these ME countries want agreements that Iran won't retaliate against these ME countries. Also, if the US and Israel start bombing Iran again the price of crude and gas and diesel shoots back up. Bibi played Krasnov for the fool that he is.
