The ceasefire between the US and Iran isn't stopped, and the Strait of Hormuz is back at the center of it. Both sides have been trading attacks, and what looked like a fragile deal a few days ago,is now cracking under real pressure. Kuwait and Bahrain have both publicly condemned Iran's attacks, which came after US strikes hit Iranian targets. When Gulf states starts working, it means the situation on the ground is getting serious fast.

Nobody really believed this problem was built to last, and that's the uncomfortable truth everyone was wandering around.

The Strait of Hormuz matters to more than just these two countries. Around 20 percent of the world's oil passes through that narrow stretch of water, so every exchange of fire,there sends a ripple through global energy markets and shipping lanes that have nothing to do with the politics. Iran's attacks drew the condemnation from Kuwait and Bahrain, both of whom have American military presence on their soil and can't afford to stay quiet when things escalate this close to home.

The US has not backed down either, with both sides continuing to trade strikes even as diplomatic language about ceasefires stays technically on the table.Iran says, it's responding to American aggression, and Washington says, it's responding to Iranian provocation. Neither side is blinking. The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the most watched flashpoints on the planet right now, and the deal that was supposed to calm things down is looking shakier by the hour.
