Hormuz Under Fire: IRGC Seizes Ships, Ceasefire Crumbles & US Nuclear Scare

The Strait of Hormuz is on fire, and the world's energy markets are watching every move. In this edition of World News with Pankaj Mishra, we break down the fastest-moving crisis on the planet.
An IRGC gunboat has opened fire on a commercial vessel near the Strait of Hormuz - striking the bridge without warning, directly contradicting Tehran's claim of enforcing maritime law. The UK Maritime Trade Operations confirmed the attack. With nearly 20% of global oil flowing through this narrow corridor, any escalation here hits energy prices worldwide.
Meanwhile, Iran is sending a muscle-flexing signal: Tehran wheeled out the Khorramshahr-4 medium-range ballistic missile during pro-regime rallies at Enghelab Square as the ceasefire deadline loomed- displaying it alongside massive crowds for over 50 consecutive nights. This is not a desperate move. It is calculated strategic messaging.
On the diplomatic front, the US-Iran ceasefire - already described by JD Vance as a "fragile truce" - is under severe strain. Talks in Islamabad lasted 21 hours and ended without agreement, with the Strait of Hormuz and Iran's nuclear programme remaining the two unresolved deal-breakers. Backchannel diplomacy through Pakistan has stalled. The ceasefire has been extended - but both sides are still firing.
And from Washington - a deeply alarming development: a senior US nuclear official is under investigation after an undercover sting allegedly exposed the sharing of sensitive nuclear infrastructure data.
From Hormuz to Tehran to Washington - the global order is on edge.
