Donald Trump accused Iran of violating a ceasefire by firing on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz, including vessels linked to France and the United Kingdom.

He said the incident was a serious breach of the agreement and warned that further military action could follow if Iran does not agree to a peace deal.

U.S. officials, including Vice President JD Vance and envoy Steve Witkoff, are expected to hold new talks with Iranian representatives in Pakistan.

Iran has denied wrongdoing and said its forces remain on alert while negotiations continue, even as both sides dispute control over the strategic waterway, The Hill has reported.

The situation remains highly tense, with diplomacy and military threats escalating at the same time.
