Iran Threatens Ships in Strait of Hormuz Despite Two-Week Ceasefire Agreement With United States

Iran and the United States agreed to a two-week pause in their 39-day war to negotiate a permanent peace. However, the Iranian navy warned it would destroy any foreign vessels that enter the Strait of Hormuz without permission. This threat follows a draft peace plan that includes a transit fee for ships. Tehran says the Strait will stay closed until the United States ends its aggression. President Trump vowed the U.S. military will stay until Iran complies. Some observers worry the deal lets Iran control the Strait and keep its missiles. Tech stocks rallied after the ceasefire news, but some experts predict a market crash because the agreement is fragile. Public opinion is split, with recent polls showing a low approval rating for the president following the announcement.
