President Donald Trump has announced that U.S. negotiators will be in Pakistan for talks with Iran, following Iran's decision to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The talks have not been confirmed by Iran's chief negotiator, Mohammed Bagher Qalibaf. The United States has stated that it will continue to enforce its blockade on ports as long as the blockade continues. Meanwhile, Iran maintains that ships will not pass through the strait while the blockade remains in place.
