A U.S. official stated that Tehran should <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/iran-allows-20-pakistani-ships-to-sail-through-strait-of-hormuz\/\" title=\"... allows 20 Pakistani ... to sail through ... of Hormuz\">permit passage<\/a> through the strait, which is vital for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/iranian-special-forces-seize-cargo-ship-in-strait-of-hormuz\/\" title=\"...ian elite forces capture vessel in ... of Hormuz\">global oil transit<\/a>, and accused Iranian extremists of sabotaging a fragile ceasefire through recent strikes. Iran responded by asserting that it has sole authority over the strait&#8217;s opening or closing. The tensions follow President Donald Trump\u2019s declaration that the ceasefire agreement, which included a 60-day window for peace negotiations, was over, after Iran attacked shipping in the region. The conflict has caused uncertainty for maritime traffic, with Iran secretly dispatching oil tankers through the strait amid resumed hostilities and threats, including a reported Iranian assassination plot targeting Trump. The US had previously lifted a naval blockade in accordance with the ceasefire but reinstated tensions after the deal&#8217;s collapse.Trump also <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >reportedly issued instructions<\/a> for a large bombing campaign in case of his assassination by Iran.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read
