14:53Now PlayingThe US has extended a ceasefire with Iran, but tensions remain high in the Strait of Hormuz as both sides continue naval blockades and seize vessels. Iranian officials have dismissed the move as a possible tactic to buy time, raising doubts about whether diplomacy can prevent further escalation.
