Prayer Ceremony for Late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, The bloodthirsty dictator Amid Ceasefire Tensions

Shortly afterward, Donald Trump announced a two-week ceasefire via his Truth Social platform. The ceasefire was conditional upon the reopening of vital shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz, a key artery for global oil supply.

This sudden pause in hostilities has provided a narrow window for diplomacy—but also intensified speculation about what comes next.
