U.S.-Iran ceasefire nears expiration

The fragile truce between Washington and Tehran faces a critical deadline as President Donald Trump warns that military action will resume if a nuclear deal is not reached.

Despite preparations in Islamabad to host a second round of negotiations, Iranian officials have yet to confirm their attendance, citing the ongoing U.S. naval blockade as a violation of terms.

The conflict has already caused significant global energy disruptions, with the Strait of Hormuz remaining a primary flashpoint.

Diplomatic efforts are now on a knife-edge as both nations exchange warnings of readiness for a return to open warfare.
