Iran has warned it will 'soon retaliate' against Washington after the US Navy seized an Iranian-flagged cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz.
The regime accused the US of violating the two-week ceasefire and branded the seizure of the vessel called Touska a 'maritime and armed robbery'.
The threat came after Iran reportedly rejected a second round of peace talks after President Donald Trump said more negotiations would take place on Monday.
Tehran accused the US of 'excessive demands' and blamed the ongoing blockade of the Strait of Hormuz for its absence, according to Iran's state IRNA news agency.
It blamed 'Washington's excessive demands, unrealistic expectations, constant shifts in stance, repeated contradictions and the ongoing naval blockade' for its refusal to negotiate, the agency reported.
