Lebanon Truce Collapses as Iran-Israel Strikes Spill into GCC Airspace

The US-brokered ceasefire in Lebanon has failed following Hezbollah's outright rejection, triggering renewed Israeli kinetic operations across the Levant. Simultaneously, the broader Iran-Israel conflict has breached GCC borders, marked by a deadly Iranian drone attack on Kuwait's airport and reciprocal Israeli strikes on Tehran infrastructure. This dual-front escalation places the Strait of Hormuz at a critical inflection point, threatening immediate disruptions to Gulf aviation corridors and global energy markets despite US reluctance to engage in all-out war.
