The Iran-US ceasefire was supposed to silence the region. Instead, the skies over the Gulf lit up again. Missiles, drones, explosions — and the UAE once more caught in the middle. Airports threatened. Oil terminals burning. Civilians running for cover. This didn’t look like a mistake. It looked deliberate. A signal sent in fire and smoke. Tehran may have paused direct confrontation with Washington on paper… but on the battlefield, the pressure never stopped. The ceasefire didn’t suddenly fail — it was slowly dismantled, strike by strike.
