Iran's parliament speaker said the US 'failed to gain the trust' of the Iranian delegation during the talks in Pakistan
President Trump declared on Sunday that he was ordering the US Navy to impose a blockade on the Strait of Hormuz after US and Iranian officials held about 20 hours of talks in Pakistan that didn’t result in a deal.
Trump said that the US and Iran didn’t reach an agreement on the nuclear issue, suggesting that Washington is still demanding Tehran commit to zero nuclear enrichment. Another major sticking point is the fact that Israel has refused to enact a ceasefire in Lebanon and has continued major airstrikes on the country that have massacred hundreds of civilians since the US-Iran truce started.
“So, there you have it, the meeting went well, most points were agreed to, but the only point that really mattered, NUCLEAR, was not. Effective immediately, the United States Navy, the Finest in the World, will begin the process of BLOCKADING any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“At some point, we will reach an ‘ALL BEING ALLOWED TO GO IN, ALL BEING ALLOWED TO GO OUT’ basis, but Iran has not allowed that to happen by merely saying, ‘There may be a mine out there somewhere,’ that nobody knows about but them. THIS IS WORLD EXTORTION, and Leaders of Countries, especially the United States of America, will never be extorted,” he added.
Trump also said that he ordered the Navy to “seek and interdict every vessel in International Waters that has paid a toll to Iran.” He issued a warning to the Iranian military, saying that any “Iranian who fires at us, or at peaceful vessels, will be BLOWN TO HELL!”
In another post, Trump accused the Iranians of being “dishonorable” for not opening the Strait of Hormuz as part of the ceasefire agreement. But a major part of the deal was also for a ceasefire in Lebanon, something the US officials initially agreed to but later rejected after Israel escalated its bombing campaign in the country.
In brief remarks to the press following the negotiations with Iran, Vice President JD Vance also framed the nuclear issue as being the main impediment to a deal, though, since before the US and Israel launched the war, Tehran has been willing to re-commit to never developing a weapon and keeping uranium enrichment at very low levels.
