Tensions surge as Iran warns of imminent “full-scale defence” amid a rapidly collapsing ceasefire, accusing Benjamin Netanyahu of expanding military operations beyond agreed limits. Strikes across Lebanon and Iran have raised fears of a wider regional war, while disputes over whether Lebanon was part of the truce continue to fuel confusion. Tehran has also signaled it could shut down the Strait of Hormuz again, threatening global trade and energy markets. With Donald Trump’s ceasefire effort under strain, Iran is now urging mediators to step in urgently before the situation spirals out of control.
