Iran said it has "no plans for now" to join the next round of peace talks as the United States sends a delegation to Pakistan led by Vice-President JD Vance. The two-week US-Iran ceasefire is due to end on Wednesday. The talks come after President Donald Trump said US forces seized an Iranian cargo ship trying to cross a naval blockade. Trump said the vessel was warned to stop but did not comply. Iran's military has said it will respond. Iranian media also reported drone attacks on US ships, with no damage confirmed.
