- Talks between Iran and America possible in Pakistan.
Iran has once again imposed sanctions on the Strait of Hormuz and reversed its earlier decision to reopen this important sea route. Along with this, Iran has also accused America of violating the ceasefire. Tehran has threatened that as long as the US continues the blockade of Iranian ports, it will continue to disrupt the movement of international ships through this sea route.
In fact, this development has come to light on Saturday (April 18, 2026) amid new diplomatic efforts to reduce tension in West Asia, when Iran changed its stance on a comment made by America. America said that it will not end the blockade of ships belonging to Iran, on which Iran’s Joint Military Command said that control over the Strait of Hormuz has returned to its old position and is now under the strict management and control of the armed forces.
The Iranian military command threatened America that as long as America continues the blockade of Iranian ports, it will continue to disrupt the movement of ships through this sea route.
