Iranian official says talks with US to end war have made progress but sides 'far' from deal
Iran and the US have made progress in talks to end their conflict, but are still far from a deal. The US blockade on Iranian ports remains a major point of contention, with Iran's navy saying it will keep the Strait of Hormuz closed until the blockade is lifted.
Iran's navy has stated that the US blockade on Iranian ports is a breach of ceasefire conditions agreed upon earlier this month. The ceasefire allowed shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, but Iran has since closed it again. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy has dismissed comments made by US President Trump on the Strait of Hormuz as 'carrying no validity'. Trump had said Iran's leaders want to close the strait, but the US won't be 'blackmailed'. The Strait of Hormuz remains shut until the US blockade is lifted.
