Live updates: Iran attacks 3 ships in the Strait of Hormuz as Trump indefinitely extends ceasefire

Key Points:

• The EU Energy Commissioner Dan Jørgensen warns that the energy crisis caused by the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran will drive high prices for months or years, costing Europe around 500 million euros daily and comparing the crisis to those of 1973 and 2022 combined.
• Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard attacked and seized two ships, MSC Francesca and Epaminondas, in the Strait of Hormuz, escalating tensions following U.S. seizures of Iranian vessels amid ongoing ceasefire talks.
• Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar urged Lebanon to disarm Hezbollah ahead of negotiations in Washington, highlighting Hezbollah as the main obstacle to peace and normalization between Israel and Lebanon.
• Iran demands the U.S. lift its blockade as a precondition for further ceasefire talks in Islamabad, accusing the U.S. of using negotiations to strengthen military positions and refusing to negotiate under threat.
• Britain and France are coordinating a multinational military plan to secure the Strait of Hormuz, aiming to protect shipping and clear mines if a sustainable ceasefire is achieved, despite skepticism about the plan's implementation.
