Live: Iran blocks Strait of Hormuz, negotiation prospects uncertain
As the ceasefire deadline approaches, Iran and the United States remain divided on key issues, while tensions at sea continue to escalate. The Navy of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said in a statement on April 18 that, citing what it called US violations of the ceasefire and failure to lift the maritime blockade on Iranian ports and vessels, it had decided to block the Strait of Hormuz starting that evening. With only days left before the temporary ceasefire expires, prospects for Iran-US negotiations remain uncertain, drawing close attention to developments in the Middle East.
Iran has made some progress in talks with the US, but the two sides remain far from reaching an agreement, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said on Saturday. CGTN brings you the latest.
