US-Israel-Iran war LIVE Updates: India, Japan coordinate on crisis; ex-US NSA questions Pakistan’s role, flags China link

The ceasefire announced this week between Washington and Tehran is facing its first serious stress test. From the Strait of Hormuz to southern Lebanon, sharp public statements from the US, Iran and Israel suggest the gaps over what the truce actually covers are widening, not narrowing.

While Trump warned Iran over shipping access in one of the world’s most sensitive oil corridors, Tehran signalled it would push for compensation and greater control over Hormuz in talks ahead. At the same time, Israel kept up its line that there is “no ceasefire in Lebanon”, even as Islamabad prepares to host negotiations under growing diplomatic glare.
