Iran: America’s Republican leader nikki haley The US Navy has claimed that the first Iranian ship seized in Hormuz by the US Navy was going from China to Iran and was carrying chemical materials for missiles. He gave this statement on social media platform X.
Nikki Haley said, “The ship that the US stopped in Hormuz this weekend was traveling from China to Iran and was carrying a consignment of chemicals related to missiles. It was ordered several times to stop, but it refused.” He further said that the possibility of China providing military assistance to Iran “can no longer be ignored”.
Did America seize Iran’s container ship?
America had seized the Iranian flagged container ship “Touska”. This ship was stopped near Iran’s Chabahar port in the Gulf of Oman. This ship is said to be linked to Iranian shipping company IRISL, which is already under US sanctions.
What did Iran say?
Iran has described America’s action as “armed piracy” and has said that until the blockade is lifted, it will not participate in the second round of talks to be held in Islamabad. The Iranian military side also said that the ship was coming from China and that they were prepared for a confrontation with US forces, but they were limited due to the presence of the families of the crew on board.
According to American security sources, in the initial investigation, it has been feared that the ship may contain “dual-use” items that can be used for both civil and military purposes. According to reports, the US Central Command has already released a list of many such items, which include metals, pipes and electronic equipment, which can be used in military use.
What happened to the conversation?
Tomorrow the deadline for ceasefire between Iran and America is ending and today talks were supposed to be held in Pakistan. However, last night Iran issued a statement saying that Tehran will not talk under any pressure. According to Iranian media, no Iranian official has attended the talks taking place in Pakistan.
