Iran renews attacks on US Gulf allies, Trump accuses allies of ingratitude over Hormuz naval standoff

Iran launched fresh attacks on the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday, the kind of retaliatory strikes on U.S. Gulf allies that President Donald Trump said had not been expected, but which sources said he had been warned about before the conflict.

The U.S.-Israeli war on Iran is in its third week with at least 2,000 people dead and no end in sight. The critical Strait of Hormuz remains largely closed off, with U.S. allies rebuffing Trump’s request for help to reopen the critical waterway, raising energy prices and fears of inflation.
