Analysis Summary
Iran's Foreign Ministry said it won't negotiate with the US again after the American military seized an Iranian cargo ship, contradicting Trump's Sunday announcement that peace talks would resume in Pakistan. The seizure happened as part of a broader US naval blockade of Iranian ports that began last week, and Iran's military called it an act of piracy and ceasefire violation. The timing—seizing the ship right after announcing negotiations—appears designed to undermine the diplomatic track, though Pakistani mediators are reportedly trying to keep talks alive despite the tension.
