U.S.-Iran Ceasefire On The Verge Of Collapse As Ship Seizures And Vessel Attacks Reignite Hostilities

Tensions between the United States and Iran have surged again as clashes in the Strait of Hormuz disrupted shipping and threatened a fragile truce set to expire Tuesday. After briefly reopening, the route stalled as vessels came under fire mid-passage, forcing withdrawals. The U.S. Navy seized an Iranian ship in the Gulf of Oman, while Donald Trump accused Iran of violating the ceasefire and warned of strikes if no deal is reached. Talks expected in Pakistan remain uncertain, raising fears of renewed conflict. Around 13 million barrels of daily supply remain shut in, with over 500 million barrels already lost. Oil prices have surged more than 30% since the war began, and experts warn that even if a deal is reached, it could take months to restore supply, keeping prices high.
