Will the weekend showdown in the Strait of Hormuz collapse the
US-Iran ceasefire?

After Iran opened and then closed the Strait, attacked an Indian
tanker and turned around ships, Donald Trump ordered the seizure
of a sanctioned Iranian vessel that was attempting to pass
through the US blockade. What followed was a new first for the
war: shots fired at the Iranian container ship’s engine and the
whole vessel taken into custody.

Retired Royal Navy commodore Steve Prest looks at how such
seizures normally happen, the tricky question of what will happen
to the vessel now and the long-term prospects of the Strait of
Hormuz being reopened for global trade.

Plus, with the deadline for ceasefire talks in Pakistan fast
approaching, Venetia Rainey looks at the signs today that talks
may go ahead on Tuesday despite Iranian denials. She also
explains the latest updates from Lebanon, where Hezbollah killed
two Israeli soldiers over the weekend.
