Donald Trump to consider advice from Pakistan's Munir on US blockade of Iranian ports: Report

US President Donald Trump has told Pakistan's army chief ⁠Asim ‌Munir that he would consider ‌the latter's advice ⁠on America's blockade ‌of ‌Iran's ports being a ‌hurdle ‌to peace talks with Iran ⁠when ⁠the two spoke by phone, a Pakistani security source said ​on Monday.

Even as a two-week ceasefire between Iran and the US is ​set to expire ⁠on Wednesday, America took custody of a vessel trying to get past the American blockade.

Trump said a US Navy guided missile destroyer in the Gulf of Oman 'stopped them right in their tracks by blowing a hole in the engineroom' and that US Marines had custody of the vessel, named Touska, and were "seeing what's on board!"

The US representatives are reportedly set to reach Islamabad for Iran negotiations on Monday while Tehran has yet to ⁠announce whether ‌it will send a delegation to Pakistan.

Iranian state TV quoted ‌an unnamed informed source as saying there ⁠were no plans for a second round of negotiations due ‌to the US' "excessive and irrational" ‌demands as well as its changing stances.
