Here’s what happened today
Here are some of the day’s top developments:
Trump has said that US forces have taken custody of an Iranian-flagged vessel that tried to get through the US blockade of Iranian ports.
Iran’s military confirmed an attack claimed by the US military on a ship returning from China, vowing it will “retaliate soon”.
Iranian state media is reporting that Tehran is not currently planning to attend talks with the US, citing the ongoing blockade as well as Washington’s shifting positions and “excessive demands”.
It comes after Trump ordered US negotiators to travel to Pakistan on Monday, just days before a two-week ceasefire expires.
