Iran war ceasefire in jeopardy

The fragile ceasefire between the United States and Iran is nearing collapse following the U.S. Navy's seizure of the vessel Touska in the Arabian Sea.

President Donald Trump has stated that an extension of the truce is highly unlikely and warned of severe military consequences if a deal is not reached.

Iranian officials have expressed deep mistrust of Washington and have yet to commit to attending planned peace negotiations in Islamabad.

The escalating conflict continues to disrupt global energy markets, with the Strait of Hormuz remaining a critical flashpoint for international trade.
