Ships approaching the waterway on Saturday turn back after Iran's navy tells them it's 'shut again'

Iran on Saturday denied US claims that it agreed to transfer its enriched uranium abroad and signalled that the Strait of Hormuz has been closed again due to Washington’s ongoing naval blockade.

On Friday, President Donald Trump said the US would maintain a naval blockade on Iranian ports, imposed earlier this week, until a final agreement between the two countries is reached.

    Actually, someone posted another article which said that Iran is willing to transfer its enriched uranium to Pakistan.

      The transfer to Pakistan is a leak that’s not coming from Iranian sources for as far as I read, so it seems more like something that was coined during the talks or around them. Tbh, I think the US negotiators would gladly accept the offer (after they cleaned the coffee from their notes)

      I also read the Iranians would agree to dilute it within their own borders

      Of course, any of those solutions would just boil down to the same thing, without losing as much face
