Ceasefire with Iran strained as Israel continues bombing Lebanon

Tensions threaten a fragile two-week ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran as Israel continues airstrikes in Lebanon and Iran maintains control over the Strait of Hormuz, restricting shipping traffic. U.S. Vice President JD Vance is set to lead peace talks in Pakistan, with nuclear fuel restrictions and control over the strait as core issues. Disagreements persist over whether Lebanon is included in the ceasefire, with Iran demanding an end to fighting there as part of a final peace deal. The uncertainty has led to rising oil prices and concerns about disruptions to global energy and food supplies.
