New threats and tensions rattle Iran ceasefire and test peace push

The Iran ceasefire and peace talks this week are hanging by a thread as tensions boil over the strategic waterway that epitomizes Tehran’s new leverage and a conflict that critics warn has escaped President Donald Trump’s control.
On Friday, Trump said Iran had “agreed to everything,” prompting a stock market rally on hopes the war could soon end. But by Sunday, this looked like another case of overhyping diplomacy, and the president was again threatening to destroy Iran’s bridges and power plants, and Tehran had shut the S

But that optimism has proved ephemeral as the ongoing war in the Middle East and the accompanying disruption to oil markets gives its world-beating growth story an unexpected jolt.
The impact is most starkly visible on the Indian currency, which has hit record lows and is down nearly 10% against the US dollar in the last year.
