US President Donald Trump has warned that the United States could impose tolls on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz if a final agreement with Iran is not completed within 60 days. The warning comes as American and Iranian officials prepare for talks in Switzerland aimed at turning a temporary peace deal into a long-term agreement. The negotiations follow a ceasefire and the reopening of the vital oil shipping route. Meanwhile, tensions remain high in the region, with Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon reportedly killing several people despite a renewed ceasefire. Qatar and Switzerland are playing key roles in facilitating the diplomatic efforts. (PC: HT)
