US negotiators will return to Pakistan on Monday for talks on the Iran conflict, President Donald Trump said. A White House official said the delegation will be led by Vice President JD Vance. Trump also warned he could strike Iran's power plants and bridges if no deal is reached. Iran's state media said reports of fresh talks in Pakistan were "not true", though no official position was announced. Tensions remain high after gunfire near ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has also accused the US of breaching the ceasefire by blockading its ports. (PC: BBC)
