US President Donald Trump today said that US representatives are travelling to Islamabad, Pakistan, for negotiations with Iran, as he accused Tehran of violating a ceasefire agreement in the Strait of Hormuz. He said the delegations will arrive tomorrow. Iran has not yet confirmed the negotiation plans.
In a social media post, President Trump claimed that Iran fired shots in the Strait of Hormuz yesterday, calling it a total violation of the ceasefire agreement with the United States.
He also alleged that several of the incidents targeted a French vessel and a cargo ship from the United Kingdom, describing the act as unacceptable.
The US President said Washington is offering a fair and reasonable deal and expressed hope that Iran would accept it. He warned that if talks fail, the United States could target Iran’s power plants and bridges, saying they could be taken down quickly and easily.
Earlier, President Trump said that positive discussions were taking place with Iran but indicated some frustration over ongoing differences. Meanwhile, Türkiye’s Foreign Minister said both sides appear willing to continue talks, although several points of disagreement remain.
