US-Iran war ceasefire and ongoing conflict

A fragile US-Iran ceasefire has taken effect following weeks of US-Israeli military strikes on Iran, but significant disputes over its scope and enforcement persist. The Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed despite the truce, causing global energy disruptions, while ongoing Israeli strikes on Lebanon and drone attacks on Gulf states threaten to unravel the agreement. Diplomatic talks are underway in Islamabad, led by US Vice President JD Vance, as both sides disagree on the terms of the deal.
