Tensions between the United States and Iran have escalated following recent exchanges of fire in the Strait of Hormuz, raising fears that the fragile ceasefire could collapse. Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, accused the US of engaging in a 'reckless military adventure' instead of pursuing diplomatic solutions. This escalation comes as the US awaits Iran's response to proposals aimed at ending the conflict that began with US-Israeli air strikes on February 28. Despite the clashes, President Donald Trump claimed that the ceasefire remains intact and threatened more severe military actions if Iran does not quickly agree to a truce. Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressed hope for a serious response from Iran. Mediation efforts led by Pakistan are ongoing, but internal divisions within Iran, particularly the growing influence of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, complicate negotiations. Additionally, the US is preparing to host talks aimed at addressing the security situation between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
