Vice President JD Vance had been set to again lead the United States delegation in Islamabad, Pakistan, but negotiations are on hold as the Iranian regime required the U.S. naval blockade be lifted before they would discuss a potential peace deal. Over two dozen Iranian ships have reportedly been turned back to that country's ports by the U.S. military during the blockade. The U.S. fired upon and seized an inbound Iranian-flagged ship over the weekend that ignored warnings as it tried to bypass the American naval blockade. The ship was reportedly carrying dual-use chemicals from China that are used in the manufacture of ballistic missiles. |
