US President Donald Trump has hinted at a possible naval blockade of Iran after talks in Islamabad ended without a deal. He shared an article suggesting the US could block Iran’s oil exports if Tehran rejects its proposal. The talks lasted 21 hours but failed due to major differences. US Vice President JD Vance said, “We have not reached an agreement.” Reports say a blockade could increase pressure on Iran and its allies. The fragile ceasefire now remains uncertain as tensions continue to rise between the two countries. (PC: EPA/BONNIE CASH / POOL)
