US-Iran war ceasefire in jeopardy

The US Navy disabled and seized the Iranian vessel Touska after it allegedly attempted to breach a naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz.

This military escalation comes as a two-week ceasefire nears its expiration, with President Trump indicating he is unlikely to grant an extension.

Tehran has signaled a reluctance to join diplomatic negotiations in Islamabad, citing the seizure as a violation of the truce.

Global energy markets have responded with volatility, as Brent crude prices surged back above $95 a barrel amid fears of renewed open conflict.
