President Trump has said he will send Vice President Vance and other officials to Pakistan
for talks with Iran on ending the war.
But Vance hasn't yet left Washington.
A report from Iran's news agency said Iranian officials were not going to attend.
This comes after the U.S. Stopped and seized an Iranian-flagged vessel.
NPR's Air Batrowi reports.
In a grainy edited video released by Central Command,
U.S. Marines are shown rappelling onto an Iranian-flagged vessel after U.S. Forces struck its engine.
CENTCOM says the commercial ship failed to comply with repeated U.S. Warnings over a six-hour period Sunday
as it sailed in the Arabian Sea toward Iran.
President Trump says U.S. Marines now have custody of the vessel.
Iran's Revolutionary Guard warned it will take the necessary action against the U.S. Military
for the seizure of that ship without elaborating.
The U.S.
Is blocking the transit of Iranian cargo ships in international waters around Iran as Iran continues blocking most ships
from passing through the Strait of Hormuz.
Meanwhile, India says it summoned Iran's ambassador for a tax Saturday on two Indian vessels in the Persian Gulf.
