A ceasefire was announced- but within minutes, missiles were in the air. <br />Iran reportedly launched ballistic missiles toward Israel shortly after US President Donald Trump declared a ceasefire, triggering air defence responses across Israel and Gulf nations including Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, and Bahrain. <br />Even as tensions escalated, streets in Tehran and Baghdad erupted in celebration, with thousands calling the ceasefire a strategic victory for Iran- fueling a powerful perception battle across the region. <br />At the negotiation table, the balance appears to be shifting. The United States has agreed to a two-week pause and is now engaging with Iran’s sweeping 10-point proposal, including demands on nuclear rights, sanctions relief, and control over the Strait of Hormuz. <br />Meanwhile, reports suggest Iran may impose transit fees of up to $2 million per ship through Hormuz- raising global concerns over oil supply and strategic chokepoints. <br />Is this a ceasefire- or a reset in power equations? <br />Watch the full breakdown with Pankaj Mishra. <br /> <br />#Iran #USA #Israel #Ceasefire #BreakingNews #WorldNews #MiddleEast #Hormuz #OilCrisis #Geopolitics #WarNews #Oneindia<br /><br />~PR.282~HT.408~ED.194~GR.538~
