US Negotiators to Return to Pakistan for Talks as Trump Repeats Threat to Iran's Infrastructure
US President Donald Trump said that his representatives are going to Islamabad, Pakistan.
"They will be there tomorrow evening, for Negotiations," he writes on social media.
"We’re offering a very fair and reasonable DEAL, and I hope they take it because, if they don’t, the United States is going to knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran," he adds.
Warning there will be "NO MORE MR NICE GUY" if talks fail, Trump says these bridges and power plants will "come down fast, they’ll come down easy".
A snapshot of the Marine Traffic website taken just before 12:00 GMT (13:00 BST) shows no traffic moving through the Strait of Hormuz.
About 20% of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG) usually passes through the strait, but the number of ships transporting this has dramatically decreased during the recent hostilities in the Middle East.
On Friday Iran's foreign minister said the Strait of Hormuz had reopened for commercial vessels, but this decision was reversed a day later.
Iran now says the strait will remain closed until the US ends its blockade on Iranian ports.
