US Seizes Iranian Ship, Derailing Ceasefire and Peace Talks
The US intercepted an Iranian cargo ship attempting to run its naval blockade in the Gulf, prompting Iran to accuse Washington of ceasefire violations and refuse to join a new round of peace negotiations. Iran's FM spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said the US was 'not serious' about diplomacy, while France 24 reports the US delegation was already preparing to depart for Pakistan. Trump suggested he could resume attacks if the ceasefire lapses, and a France 24 expert warned he has 'boxed himself into a corner' as the war has left the US in a weaker position relative to Iran. French President Macron separately urged 'everyone must calm down' to preserve the fragile truce.
