Less than 48 hours after President Trump said Iran has "agreed to everything," he threatened the whole country would get "blown up" without a deal soon.

President Donald Trump says the U.S. seized an Iranian-flagged cargo ship that tried to get around its naval blockade near the Strait of Hormuz

An Iranian-flagged cargo ship seized by U.S. forces had recently visited Chinese ports, spotlighting a supply route now under scrutiny by officials.

With the ceasefire due to expire midweek, Pakistan has intensified diplomatic contacts with both Washington and Tehran.

Disrupting the Strait of Hormuz turned out to be a powerful weapon. It might be a new way for Iran to keep adversaries at bay, even without a nuclear program.

President Donald Trump said U.S. forces damaged and seized an Iranian ship, saying that the U.S. has “full custody” of the ship.

In early 2025, prosecutors said, Mafi began brokering the deals through that company. On one occasion, she allegedly facilitated a contract worth more than $70 million selling an Iranian-made drone to Sudan's military. Prosecutors said she was paid more than $7 million for the deal.
