- Iran President demanded the United States end the blockade, citing the closure of the Strait of Hormuz that has stopped Indian ships.
- Israel imposed a “yellow line” in Lebanon to limit its strikes, though the policy remains contested.
- Lebanon observes a 10‑day ceasefire with Israel that began in early April, now entering its fourth day under diplomatic pressure.
- Washington will host rare talks between Israel and Lebanon, and possibly the US and Iran, to keep a broader ceasefire on track.
Why it matters: Indian exporters lose shipments as the 10‑day ceasefire stalls trade, while the Hormuz blockade continues to push Bitcoin volatility higher, threatening regional market stability and investor confidence.
