The U.S. just bombed Iran after a peace deal that lasted one whole week

Original version ·

So much for diplomatic progress. Just seven days after the two countries shook hands on a fragile new truce, somebody decided to send a drone into a cargo ship and ruin the vibe.

Here is how it went down. Last week, the U.S. and Iran reached this nice, quiet "interim understanding." It was supposed to keep things chill. Fast forward to Thursday: a cargo ship is just minding its own business in the Strait of Hormuz when a drone suddenly smacks into it.

The military did not even wait for the weekend to start. On Friday, the U.S. launched retaliatory strikes. This marks the fastest expiration date on a diplomatic agreement in recent memory.

Turns out, "interim understanding" actually means "we will pause the shooting until someone spots a boat."
