Issues are rising that the ceasefire between the US and Iran may not maintain after Washington mentioned on Sunday (Apr 19) it had seized an Iranian cargo ship that attempted to run its blockade, with Tehran vowing to retaliate.

“We warn that the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran will quickly reply and retaliate towards this armed piracy by the US army,” a spokesperson mentioned, prompting a jump in oil prices and a bumpy stock market opening.
