Iran has fired on a container ship in the Strait of Hormuz, damaging the vessel and complicating efforts to bring the United States and Iran together in Pakistan for talks to end the war.
The Wednesday morning attack by Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard came after U.S. President Donald Trump indefinitely extended the ceasefire with Iran to give Tehran time to come up with a “unified proposal” ahead of possible negotiations.
Iran has offered no formal acknowledgment of the extension of the ceasefire.
Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif thanked Trump for agreeing to the extension, saying it would buy time for ongoing diplomatic efforts.
