Iran escalates ship attacks in Hormuz

Iran has escalated attacks on commercial vessels in the strategic Strait of Hormuz, according to a new report. This increase in hostilities follows President Donald Trump's recent extension of a ceasefire, which the White House framed as giving Iran time to get its act together. With Iran refusing to commit to peace talks, the future of the ceasefire remains in doubt. The attacks underscore the ongoing volatility in the critical maritime chokepoint despite diplomatic efforts.
