The US and Iran have conflicting accounts of ceasefire talks. President Trump said he will hold off strikes on Iranian power plants for five days, citing an agreement between the US and Iran. However, Iran's foreign ministry denied any dialogue. Israel has continued to strike Iran and Lebanon, with seven waves of missiles launched on Israel since midnight. The latest attacks on Tel Aviv caused damaged buildings and left cars on fire. Oil prices have risen again, exceeding $100 a barrel, due to the fresh fighting. The UAE energy CEO has called the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz 'economic terrorism' against every nation. Iran has threatened to strike Israeli forces in Gaza and northern Israel if 'crimes' against Palestinians and Lebanese continue. The IRGC warned of 'heavy missile and drone attacks' on Israeli military gatherings. The conflict has raised concerns about the global economy, with the Strait of Hormuz being a vital conduit for oil and natural gas supply. The situation remains volatile, with conflicting signals over diplomacy and a potential deal to end the conflict.
