The U.S. and Iran are continuing their negotiations — CNN
The United States and Iran continue to engage in negotiations as both sides seek a diplomatic solution to the conflict.
CNN reports this, citing an unnamed U.S. official.
“Engagement between the U.S. and Iran is ongoing, and there is a process underway to try to reach an agreement,” the official said.
This statement came after protracted negotiations between Washington and Tehran concluded in Pakistan on Saturday without yielding any breakthrough.
It is currently unknown whether a face-to-face meeting between the American and Iranian delegations will take place in the future.
Iran has vowed to sink U.S. ships in response to the blockade of its ports.
The U.S. has imposed a complete naval blockade of Iranian ports, and President Donald Trump has warned of the immediate destruction of any vessel attempting to breach it.
The U.S. announced the start of mine clearance operations in the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, U.S. warships have passed through the strait for the first time since the start of the conflict without Iran’s approval.
