U.S.-Iran ceasefire tested by Strait of Hormuz tension and Israel's war in Lebanon

from PBS News Hour - Segments · host PBS News

For the first time in more than five weeks, the U.S. did not launch widespread attacks on Iran, and Iran did not strike American targets. Even as the ceasefire between the two nations largely holds, it's being tested by what appears to be Iran's ongoing chokehold of the Strait of Hormuz, as well as Israel's war in Lebanon.
