Trump Cautions Iran Against Charging Tolls to Go Through Strait of Hormuz as Fragile Ceasefire Holds
- Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon killed hundreds of people in the past 24 hours, threatening to undermine a fragile ceasefire agreement. Iran insists hostilities must end as part of the deal, while Israel argues Lebanon was not included.

- Iran insists it reserves the right to enrich uranium, contradicting the stated goal of preventing nuclear development. Trump appears uninterested in addressing the intractable issues at the heart of Middle East tensions.
