US-Iran conflict marks 100th day with no end in sight
The conflict between Iran and the United States entered its 100th day on June 7, with no clear path toward resolution as negotiations remain deadlocked and the economic repercussions of the crisis continue to reverberate across global markets.
The 100-day mark came as the U.S. shot down a pair of Iranian drones threatening the Strait of Hormuz.
Tehran responded with a salvo of missiles at U.S. allies Bahrain and Kuwait on June 6, drawing a furious response from the Gulf monarchies and piling pressure on a shaky ceasefire agreed on April 8.
Diplomatic efforts between Washington and Tehran have largely stalled, with both sides issuing contradictory signals regarding the status of negotiations while intermittently engaging in military confrontations.
