The war between the United States, Israel and Iran is entering a sharper, more volatile phase. Washington has put out a final warning, while Tehran has made it clear it won’t come to the table under pressure. The messaging overnight has only hardened, with little to suggest any immediate diplomatic opening.
As the US deadline approaches, the conflict is no longer just about strikes and counter-strikes. It is now spilling into questions of oil routes, civilian infrastructure and wider regional stability. The Strait of Hormuz remains at the centre of it all, and what happens next could set the tone for the days ahead.
