00:02According to the U.S. President, the ceasefire is over.
00:05But why are Iran and the U.S. trading heavy strikes again?
00:08It all comes down to one of the world's most critical shipping routes, the Strait of Hormuz.
00:13Despite a recent peace agreement, Iran began attacking commercial vessels to force them into using specific Iranian-run lanes and
00:21to collect transit fees.
00:22In response, President Trump declared the truce is over, and the U.S. military launched massive strikes hitting over 80
00:29targets inside Iran.
00:31Iran immediately hit back, attacking American bases across the region.
00:35But a few hours ago, Trump did say that Iran called for a deal.
00:39A little while ago, they didn't want to make a deal so badly.
00:45So what's next?
00:46With global energy prices already spiking, this sudden escalation threatens to turn a tense standoff back into a devastating full
00:54-scale war.
00:55And the world is now watching to see if diplomacy can survive.
