The US-Iran War, which began with joint airstrikes on February 28, 2026, has entered its 78th day, reshaping global security and energy routes. The conflict has evolved into a tense 'dual blockade' in the Persian Gulf. Iran is set to introduce a 'professional mechanism' to manage traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, according to an Iranian lawmaker. This mechanism will impose fees on commercial vessels, potentially escalating economic warfare. Meanwhile, Israel launched airstrikes on southern Lebanon, despite a truce extension, causing skepticism. Pakistan's Interior Minister is in Tehran for talks to salvage the ceasefire. The US Navy is enforcing a blockade on Iranian ports, costing Tehran $500 million daily. Iran has retaliated by controlling shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, impacting global markets.
