Event Summary

A tentative ceasefire in the Iran war is faltering due to intense Israeli bombardment of Beirut, Iran's continued chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz, and deep disagreements over the terms of the agreement. Israel has pounded Beirut, resulting in significant casualties, and insists the ceasefire does not include a pause in fighting with Hezbollah. Iran's semi-official news agencies suggested the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has mined the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil waterway, causing Brent Crude prices to skyrocket. The United States, led by Donald Trump, has warned Iran of severe repercussions if the agreement is not fulfilled and will send a delegation led by JD Vance to Pakistan for talks. Key points of contention include the fate of Iran's enriched uranium stockpile, the resumption of normal traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran's missile capabilities. Mohammad Eslami, head of the Iran===Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, insists on Iran's right to enrich uranium. The Ali Soufan warns the deal 'hovers on the verge of collapse.'
