The US and Iran have blown past red lines as they lurch back toward all-out war

The United States and Iran are crossing red lines, moving toward all-out war following an Iranian drone attack on a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz on June 25. These hostilities emerged less than a month after both nations had agreed to cease fighting, placing them on a dangerous path back toward conflict as they repeatedly breach established boundaries and ignite new confrontations in the region, escalating the risk of a full-scale military engagement.
