Fragile Iran ceasefire under strain

Fragile Iran ceasefire under strain

The fragile ceasefire brokered by Pakistan between Washington and Tehran is teetering on the brink of failure just days after its announcement.

While President Trump has claimed a total victory, Iranian officials insist that continued Israeli bombardment of Beirut constitutes a grave violation of the agreement's terms.

The impasse is further complicated by Tehran's refusal to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz, with reports suggesting the waterway may be heavily mined.

International leaders are now racing to clarify whether Lebanon was intended to be included in the original 10-point peace framework.
