## Resource

U.S. forces strike a cargo ship in the Gulf of Oman after it ignored 20 warnings, sinking its engine room — just the latest in six ships intercepted trying to breach the U.S.-imposed blockade. The crisis, triggered by Iran’s closure of a key shipping lane in April, follows months of escalating tension since February’s conflict, now paused by a fragile ceasefire. With global trade grinding to a halt — oil, gas, fertilizer stuck — the world watches as negotiators race to extend the truce and tackle Iran’s nuclear ambitions before tensions boil over again.
