On April 10th, that ceasefire between the US, Israel and Iran, it's hanging by a thread just two days after President Trump announced it. Trump blasted Iran on social media for blocking the straight-of-form moves, that key route for 20 percent of the world's oil and not letting ships through, like they agreed. Iran's holding firm on the blockade, citing Israel's strikes in Lebanon, and reportedly hitting shipping companies with huge tolls for passage. Their supreme leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Kaminay, fired back demanding blood money from the US and Israel for damages and martyrs. Meanwhile, Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu isn't backing down, bowing to keep hitting Hezbollah's targets with force, even as strikes in Beirut and, elsewhere, kill civilians. His bellows retaliating with missiles on northern Israel, like Haifa, and over 300 dead in recent Lebanese attacks. On top of that, reports say Iran lost a drone strike on Kuwait's National Guard, no casualties but major damage, drawing sharp condemnation as a ceasefire violation.
Oil prices are spiking worldwide, jacking of gas and food costs everywhere. With Israel and Lebanon talk set for next week in Washington, and Trump urging restraint, this fragile truth could snap any moment, leaving the Middle East on edge.
