A timeline of the Iran War negotiations last weekend

More recently on Tuesday, Iran accused the United States of repeatedly violating a ceasefire and carrying out attacks on Iranian commercial vessels, according to a Foreign Ministry statement. The ministry said the US had continued what it called “unlawful and unjust actions” since the announcement of a ceasefire and had committed “numerous maritime robberies” against Iranian commercial ships. It also accused Washington of flagrantly violating the ceasefire in Iran’s Hormozgan region over the past 28 hours. Strait of Hormuz is located along the southern coast of Iran’s Hormozgan region. On Monday, the US military conducted “self-defense strikes” targeting Iranian missile launch sites and boats around the Strait of Hormuz amid a ceasefire between the two countries and ongoing negotiations to end the war, according to US Central Command. “U.S. forces conducted self-defense strikes in southern Iran today to protect our troops from threats posed by Iranian forces,” CENTCOM spokesman Timothy Hawkins told CNN in a statement when asked about explosions reported around the Strait of Hormuz. The ministry said the actions took place as a diplomatic process mediated by Pakistan was ongoing, and described them as further evidence of what it called US “deceit and treachery.” Caption from article by Mohammed Tawfeeq, CNN.
