Iran has warned that the fragile ceasefire with the United States could collapse after Israeli strikes in Lebanon. President Masoud Pezeshkian said continued attacks would render negotiations meaningless and declared Iran’s “fingers on the trigger.” Tehran also signaled pressure around the Strait of Hormuz, limiting vessel movement and raising concerns over global oil supply. Oil prices jumped as markets reacted to the escalating tensions. Talks in Pakistan aim to stabilize the situation, but the ceasefire remains under serious strain.
