The US Navy has seized an Iranian-flagged cargo ship near the Strait of Hormuz, prompting Iran's military to vow retaliation. The incident has raised concerns about upcoming peace talks in Pakistan, where US and Iranian negotiators were set to meet. Iran's Foreign Ministry said 'no decision has been made' on whether to attend the talks. The US and Iran have been engaged in tense negotiations, with President Donald Trump threatening to target Iranian infrastructure if a deal is not reached. The conflict has resulted in significant casualties, with nearly 3,400 people killed in Iran since US-Israeli strikes began.

Pakistan, which is mediating the negotiations, has imposed a strict security bubble in preparation for the talks.
