On the 100th day of the ongoing conflict, the United States announced it shot down two Iranian drones that threatened the Strait of Hormuz. This action follows a series of retaliatory strikes by Iran, including missile attacks on US allies Bahrain and Kuwait, exacerbating regional tensions. Diplomatic efforts are being made, with Pakistan's interior minister Mohsin Naqvi visiting Tehran to convey messages aimed at easing the situation. Despite these efforts, negotiations between the US and Iran remain at a deadlock, with Iranian officials urging the release of $24 billion in frozen assets. The US, however, may use these funds to support Gulf allies in rebuilding after Iranian strikes. The conflict has also drawn in Lebanon, where Hezbollah's actions against Israel have further complicated the situation, leading to casualties on both sides. As the ceasefire announced in April fails to hold, the potential for escalation remains high.
