Guests at the hotel where the talks took place between the US and Iranian delegations last weekend were told they needed to leave, the BBC’s Pakistan correspondent reported.
Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif spoke to Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian on Sunday evening, according to a statement released by his office. It did not make any mention of further talks between Iran and the US.
The Strait of Hormuz remained closed on Sunday, a day after the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) said it was ending a temporary reopening over the US blockade, which it said violated the terms of their ceasefire agreement. Iran said it would stay closed until the US ended its naval blockade.
About 20% of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG) is usually transported through the strait. The number of ships making the journey has dramatically decreased during the recent conflict, which has caused global energy prices to soar.
Trump has said Iran cannot “blackmail” the US with threats regarding the waterway.
He threatened to knock out every bridge and power plant in Iran if Tehran did not agree to a peace deal.
“If they don’t take the DEAL, it will be my Honour to do what has to be done,” Trump wrote in another Truth Social post on Sunday.
