Tensions remain high despite a ceasefire extension by Donald Trump, as Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps issues fresh threats over the ongoing blockade in the Strait of Hormuz. IRGC commanders warn of a swift and powerful retaliation if the U.S. resumes attacks, even hinting at targeting regional oil infrastructure. Meanwhile, Abbas Araghchi calls the blockade an “act of war,” demanding its removal before any negotiations resume. With both sides holding firm, the fragile truce faces growing uncertainty in an increasingly volatile Middle East standoff.
