"Iran's military accused America of violating a fragile ceasefire, stating that the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran will soon respond and retaliate against this armed piracy by the US military."
"Tehran's absence from the second round of talks stemmed from what it called Washington's excessive demands, unrealistic expectations, constant shifts in stance, and repeated contradictions."
"The incident raised the possibility that the ceasefire could fail before negotiators were able to reconvene in Pakistan, jeopardizing the potential for peace talks."
Tehran has announced it will not engage in new negotiations with the US, citing accusations of ceasefire violations. President Trump confirmed the seizure of an Iranian cargo ship near the strait of Hormuz. Iran's military warned of retaliation against what it termed US piracy. The situation jeopardizes upcoming talks in Pakistan, as Iran criticized Washington's demands and contradictions. Iran recently imposed restrictions on commercial shipping in the strait, reversing an earlier agreement to reopen the waterway due to the US blockade.
