aimed at protecting troops and maintaining the ceasefire.<\/p><p>\r\nThree explosions were heard east of Bandar Abbas, and Iranian air defenses were activated.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nIran quickly retaliated.<\/p><p>\r\nA spokesman for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps stated that the country attacked the US base from which the bombing of Bandar Abbas originated.<\/p><p>\r\nAlthough it did not give details about the exact location, the Kuwaiti Army-a US ally-reported that its air defenses were activated against &#8220;enemy&#8221; threats, including missiles and drones.<\/p><p>\r\nExplosions were heard in the country, but resulted from successful interceptions.<\/p><p>\r\nKuwait had already been the target of attacks by Iranians and Shiite militias in the past, during the conflict.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThis episode marks the second escalation of violence this week.<\/p><p>\r\nOn Monday, the US had already attacked missile sites in southern Iran and boats attempting to plant mines, also in actions classified as defensive.<\/p><p>\r\nThe Iranian supreme leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, had made veiled threats after these incidents.<\/p><p>\r\nNow, for the first time since the beginning of the ceasefire, Iran has responded directly to the Americans, which could increase tensions just as the parties are trying to negotiate an agreement to suspend the conflict.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nPresident Donald Trump has repeatedly stated that the end of the war is near, but acknowledged, in a cabinet meeting on Wednesday, that he is still not satisfied with the progress of the talks.<\/p><p>\r\nThe United States seeks a pact that prevents Iran from enriching uranium and allows for the removal of a stockpile of material already close to nuclear weapons level.<\/p><p>\r\nOn the other side, Iran demands the unfreezing of its financial assets blocked by the US and the easing of sanctions.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThe Strait of Hormuz has become the central point of the discussions.<\/p><p>\r\nIran effectively blocked the strait shortly after the start of the American and Israeli attacks in February, which seriously affected global energy markets.<\/p><p>\r\nAn agreement under negotiation aims to restore full traffic through the waterway, which is protected by international law.<\/p><p>\r\nHowever, Iran has announced the creation of a state authority to oversee the strait, which many see as a way to collect tolls.<\/p><p>\r\nThe US reacted with new sanctions against this agency, accusing it of supporting the Revolutionary Guard.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nDespite the exchanges of fire, negotiations continue through Pakistani mediation.<\/p><p>\r\nIran also insists that any peace agreement must include Lebanon, where the April ceasefire failed to completely stop the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed group.<\/p><p>\r\nOil prices rose on Thursday following news of the attacks, reversing some of the previous day&#8217;s decline, which had been driven by expectations of an imminent agreement.\r\n<\/p><p>\r\nThis new wave of violence shows how unstable the ceasefire is and how the Strait of Hormuz remains a high-risk region.<\/p><p>\r\nWhile diplomats work to prevent further escalation, the world watches closely, concerned about the impacts on the global economy and energy security.<\/p><p>\r\nThe balance between defense and diplomacy will be crucial in determining whether peace can be consolidated or whether the conflict will intensify again.<\/p><p>\r\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Iran fires at ships, the us attacks iran, provoking retaliation against an american base in kuwait.<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/Iran'src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Iran<\/a><br><br>A fragile ceasefire in the Middle East was shaken on Thursday after the United States launched attacks against Iran, prompting Tehran to respond<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/uuHkxxm0uj\">https:\/\/t.co\/uuHkxxm0uj<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/IY9mtTCrrG\">pic.twitter.com\/IY9mtTCrrG<\/a><\/p>&mdash;
