Iran rules out talks with US unless blockade of ports lifted
US envoys were expected in the Pakistani capital on Saturday to kickstart a new round of peace negotiations with Iran, although Iranian state media said Tehran's representatives had no immediate plans to hold face-to-face talks. "According to Tehran, until and unless that blockade (of Iranian ports) is lifted, the conditions are not ripe for diplomacy," FRANCE 24's Reza Sayah said, reporting from Tehran.
