ABC News Ted Icona with the top stories, the world's watching on nervously. As the fragile ceasefire in the Middle East risks collapsing, less than 24 hours after it came into effect. Iran's claiming Israel is bridging the Tristial by continuing attacks against its ally, the militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon, killing more than 250 people. But the U.S. and Israel say that conflict was never part of the agreement. It's also unclear to what extent the key oil shipping passage, the Strait of Hormuz, is actually open. The U.S. says there's been an uptick in ship traffic through the strait, but Iran's state media says the passage of oil tankers has been halted due to Israel's attacks on Lebanon. Experts say even if the two-week ceasefire calms things down, it'll still take at least a month before fuel prices drop significantly for Australians. Australia's leaders have spent the week in talks with Asian countries to make sure fuel imports continue to arrive. Today, the Prime Minister is travelling to Singapore, which is a top oil refining
country, and one of Australia's major suppliers of refined petrol. And a woman who pleaded guilty to selling the star of the hit TV show Friends, Matthew Perry, the ketamine that killed him, has been sentenced to 15 years in prison. The woman, known as the ketamine queen, has become the third person sentenced in connection with the overdose death of Perry in 2023. As a cue to say, Jasmine Sanger had an elaborate drug operation catering to high-end clients. For more news at any time, you can follow the ABC Top Stories podcast.
