A tenuous ceasefire between the United States and Iran is under severe strain after a series of violent naval confrontations in the Strait of Hormuz.
The US military has struck multiple Iranian oil tankers and military targets in response to attacks on US Navy ships, while Iran has warned of heavy retaliation if its vessels are targeted again. Both sides accuse each other of violating the ceasefire, with President Trump insisting the truce is still in effect and pressuring Tehran to accept a peace deal. The ongoing hostilities have raised fears of a broader conflict in the region, as diplomatic efforts to end the war remain stalled.
The situation remains volatile, with the risk of further escalation looming large.
