A two-week ceasefire between the US and Iran, described as fragile, is set to expire this Wednesday, coinciding with a US naval blockade of Iranian ports and the seizure of an Iranian-flagged ship on Sunday. The US Navy fired on the ship Touska after it attempted to evade the blockade near the Strait of Hormuz. Details of ongoing negotiations remain unverified amid conflicting reports.
