The United States has seized an Iranian merchant ship that tried to break the naval blockade, while Iran has refused to participate in a second round of peace talks.

US President Donald Trump announced that the US military took control of the Iranian-flagged ship after it tried to bypass the blockade. He added that US forces damaged the ship’s engine room and are verifying its contents.

On the other hand, Iranian authorities have announced that they will not participate in a new round of negotiations, despite US warnings of new airstrikes.

Recent developments show that a quick resolution to the conflict appears remote, as the weeks-long naval blockade continues to weigh on global oil prices. oil.

The US has kept Iranian ports blocked, while Iran has repeatedly imposed and lifted the blockade on Hormuz, a key route that before the start of the conflict processed about a fifth of the world’s oil supply.

Earlier, Trump had warned that the US would destroy bridges and power plants in Iran if Tehran rejected its terms. Meanwhile, Iran has declared that in the event of attacks on civilian infrastructure, it will hit energy facilities and desalination plants in the Arab countries of the Gulf. /message
