Shafaq News- Washington

Washington agreed to continue discussions requested byTehran, but made clear that the ceasefire had ended, US President Donald Trumpsaid on Friday.

    Trump did not explain how negotiations would proceed underthe new circumstances. Iran has not responded yet to his remarks.

    Axios, citing a source, reported that US and Iranianofficials could meet again next week, with Switzerland under consideration asthe venue.

    The Council of the International Maritime Organization (IMO)also adopted a non-binding decision condemning Iran’s move to establish anauthority overseeing traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, which carries around20% of global oil supplies. It urged member states not to recognize Tehran’sclaims of sovereignty over the strait or any measures “closing, obstructing,hampering or otherwise interfering with international navigation and the rightof transit passage.”

    Iran's Persian Gulf Strait Authority announced in June thatvessels would require a passage permit to transit the waterway. Tehran rejectedthe IMO Council's accusations as "selective, politically motivated andlegally unfounded," arguing it is not bound by the UN Convention on theLaw of the Sea (UNCLOS). Iranian delegates said the measures are intended tosafeguard maritime safety and national security and do not amount to closingthe strait.

    Tensions escalated after attacks on commercial shipping inthe Strait of Hormuz. The United States carried out airstrikes on severalstrategic facilities in Iran overnight Tuesday into Wednesday, while US CentralCommand (CENTCOM) reported striking 90 military sites along Iran's coastline toreduce Tehran's ability to target maritime traffic. Iran later launchedretaliatory attacks on US military facilities in Bahrain and Kuwait.
