Iran's military vows swift response to U.S. seizure of Iranian-flagged tanker
The Iranian military headquarters said the attack and subsequent boarding of an Iranian vessel by U.S. forces was a violation of the ceasefire and an act of "maritime piracy," saying that "Iran will respond soon," according to Iran's state-run broadcaster.
The United States says it fired on the ship and seized it because it had crossed the blockade line after ignoring multiple warnings.
The response came as Iran has yet to comment on President Trump's announcement of new talks in Pakistan this week. Iranian state media, without citing anyone beyond unnamed sources, issued brief reports on Sunday suggesting the talks would not happen.
