Iran has not agreed to another round of talks with the United States in Islamabad, the semi-official Tasnim news agency reports, citing “relevant authorities.”
The report comes shortly after Tehran announces it was reasserting control over the Strait of Hormuz, after briefly opening it, citing the ongoing US blockade of Iranian ports.
