An oil refinery in Iran was hit hours after a ceasefire with the United States took effect. The strike took place on Lavan Island, with no casualties reported. Officials called it an “enemy attack”. Fire crews were sent to control the blaze. The truce aimed to pause fighting for two weeks. Donald Trump called it a “total and complete victory”. However, tensions rose again as Iran launched strikes on Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates. The ceasefire included reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Both sides have accused each other of breaking the agreement. (PC: NDTV)
