A fragile two-week ceasefire between the US and Iran is showing signs of collapse ahead of crucial talks in Pakistan. Washington has accused Tehran of failing to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, causing severe disruptions to global oil supplies. Iran, however, blames ongoing Israeli strikes in Lebanon, insisting the truce must include that conflict. Meanwhile, Israel continues attacks, further complicating the agreement. US President Donald Trump criticised Iran’s compliance, while tensions remain high across the region. With both sides divided on key terms, upcoming negotiations face significant challenges and uncertainty. (PC: Reuters)
