The U.S. Navy's seizure of an Iranian vessel has triggered threats of retaliation, casting doubt on the prospects for negotiations.

According to Iranian state media, after the U.S. Navy ensured "crew safety," Iran vowed retaliation.

This detention incident casts doubt on the second round of negotiations planned for this week in Pakistan.

U.S. Vice President JD Vance and senior U.S. officials were expected to travel to Islamabad today, but the Iranian Foreign Ministry insisted there are no negotiation plans.

The ceasefire agreement mutually accused by the U.S. and Iran is set to expire on Wednesday.
