This morning, the newly extended ceasefire between the United States and Iran is already in question
0:08
after at least two cargo ships have been fired on in the Strait of Hormuz
0:13
Iran's Revolutionary Guard opened fire on a container ship without warning, causing heavy damage to the bridge, according to a UK maritime agency
0:23
The agency says a second incident was reported just west of Iran
0:27
where an outbound cargo ship reported it was fired upon and, quote
0:31
is now stopped in the water. An Iranian news outlet is reporting the Revolutionary Guard's navy said
0:37
it seized two so-called violating vessels and transferred them to the Iranian coast, according to CNN
0:45
The Guard had previously warned it could shut down traffic through the strait
0:49
unless the U.S. lifts its blockade of Iranian ships and ports. The incidents come just hours after President Trump
0:56
extended the temporary ceasefire, which had been set to expire today. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said the extension came at the request of Pakistan

and will remain in place until Iran submits a proposal and talks conclude
1:12
Despite the attacks, Iran is warning that if fighting resumes with the U.S. or Israel
1:17
it will deliver what it calls crushing and unimaginable blows to remaining targets in the region
1:23
Meanwhile, efforts to restart peace talks are faltering. Vice President J.D. Vance's planned trip to Islamabad has been put on hold after Iran failed to send a delegation
1:34
Iranian officials say they will not negotiate under pressure, pointing to the U.S. blockade
1:40
But President Trump now says if he gives up the blockade, there will never be a deal with Iran
