The US and Iran are scheduled to resume talks in Pakistan on Monday, US President Donald Trump announced. Iran has maintained its blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for global oil supplies, until the US lifts its blockade of Iranian ports. Iran's Revolutionary Guard navy opened fire on a tanker in the strait, but the vessel and crew were reported safe. The standoff has heightened concerns about the global energy crisis and potential conflict. The Strait of Hormuz is a vital route for around one-fifth of the world's oil.
