Talks With US To End War Making Progress- Iran

Iran’s parliamentary speaker says progress has been made in talks with the US, but that the two countries remain far from a peace deal.

President Donald Trump says good conversations are  happening with Iran, but he won’t let Tehran  blackmail the US over the Strait of Hormuz.

Meanwhile ,Iran says the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until the US lifts its blockade on Iranian ports, which it calls a breach of the ceasefire.

Responding President  Trump says the blockade will continue until  there is an agreement by both countries.

A report says two Iranian gunboats opened fire on a tanker in the Strait of Hormuz, while other ships were hit by unknown projectiles.

The US military says it has forced 23 ships to turn around near the Strait of Hormuz since its blockade of Iranian ports began.
