The United States is reportedly planning new attacks in Iran in coordination with Israel, despite an ongoing ceasefire between Washington and Tehran. According to CNN citing Israeli sources, preparations are underway for a new phase of strikes targeting Iran’s energy infrastructure and senior officials. The plan was largely finalized before the ceasefire in April, and the final decision rests with US President Donald Trump.

Meanwhile, tensions have escalated in the Strait of Hormuz, where Iranian and US naval forces clashed earlier this week. Iran claimed that US attacks killed five civilians and destroyed several vessels, while the US Central Command denied the allegation, saying its forces targeted Iranian boats obstructing commercial shipping. Iranian officials accused Washington of aggression and warned against further military actions in the region.

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed that the ceasefire remains in effect but warned that the strategic waterway must remain open. Global oil prices rose sharply amid fears of renewed conflict, with Brent crude reaching over $114 per barrel before easing slightly.
