Tensions are exploding along the Thailand–Cambodia border as the reignited conflict enters its third day, prompting a swift reaction from Washington. The U.S. has called for an immediate freeze in hostilities as artillery fire sends civilians fleeing for safety. Senator Marco Rubio has issued a sharp warning demanding an instant ceasefire before the clashes spiral out of control.
Meanwhile, Thailand is carrying out airstrikes using U.S.-supplied F-16 fighter jets—raising questions about how far Washington will go, especially as it retains the ability to halt essential parts or suspend the deal altogether. Cambodia is striking back with Chinese-made weapons, fueling concerns that the confrontation could evolve into a dangerous U.S.–China–linked proxy war. As accusations fly and the previously co-signed truce teeters on collapse, the world watches to see whether diplomacy prevails or a wider regional crisis erupts.
