Khaberni - Fox News quoted a senior official in the administration of US President Donald Trump as saying that Iran "is greatly afraid" of the pressures Washington is exerting on its economy. The official added, according to the report, that "there are many ongoing developments in Tehran today. We have all the elements to reach an agreement, but things have not yet been finalized. The blockade has caused great concern."
The Iranian ambassador to Pakistan said that "imposing a maritime blockade is an illegal act, a provocation, and a reckless step aimed at saving face." This follows US President Donald Trump's announcement of a maritime blockade on the Strait of Hormuz.
Informed sources expressed optimism that the American and Iranian negotiation delegations will return to Pakistan later this week to conduct a new round of direct talks, days after the talks in the Pakistani capital ended without any breakthrough.
