Tehran says it has “no plans for the next round” of peace talks as the US sends a delegation to Pakistan headed by Vice-President JD Vance
The US-Iran two-week ceasefire is due to end on Wednesday.But even if the talks in Pakistan begin, the chances of a breakthrough are slim at best, writes Frank Gardner
It comes after the US attacked and seized an Iranian cargo ship trying to get past its blockade of Iran’s ports, President Trump says
Trump says the ship was given “fair warning to stop” but the crew “refused to listen, so our Navy ship stopped them right in their tracks by blowing a hole in the engine room”
“Vacate your engine room, vacate your engine room, we’re prepared to subject you to disabling fire” –
Iran’s military has said it will retaliate – Iranian media says drones have attacked US ships, though no damage has been reported
