Tensions escalate between the US and Iran after a US Navy destroyer seizes an Iranian cargo ship near the Strait of Hormuz, casting uncertainty over potential talks in Pakistan. Iran has set 'red lines' for US talks and may skip the second round of negotiations.
The US Navy has seized an Iranian-flagged cargo ship, Touska, near the Strait of Hormuz, citing an attempt to bypass a naval blockade. The incident has raised concerns about the fragile ceasefire between the US and Iran, set to expire on Wednesday. Iran's joint military command has vowed to respond to the seizure, describing it as 'piracy.' Iran has executed two men convicted of cooperating with Israel's Mossad intelligence service and plotting attacks inside the country. The country's parliament has set 'red lines' for US talks, indicating that negotiations will only continue if the US provides 'positive signals.' Around 95% of Iran's airport infrastructure remains intact despite recent conflicts.
