The statement comes after US and Iran launched new attacks in the Gulf on Monday as they wrestled for control over the Strait of Hormuz with duelling maritime blockades, shaking a fragile truce.<br \/>\nUS President Donald Trump launched a new effort to get stranded tankers and other ships through the strait, the vital energy-trade chokepoint that has been virtually closed since the US and Israel began attacks on Iran in February, a war that has killed thousands of people across the region.<br \/>\nTrump gave scant details about his new effort, which he called \u201cProject Freedom,\u201d to help stuck ships travel through the strait when he announced it on social media, two days after a legal deadline under US law had passed for him to get authorisation from Congress for the war. Trump told Congress the war was \u201cterminated\u201d and the deadline was moot, a claim disputed by some lawmakers.<br \/>\nIt was the first apparent attempt to use military force since last month\u2019s ceasefire announcement to unblock the world\u2019s most important energy shipping route, which Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has said can only happen with its permission. The cost of shipping insurance has also rocketed. For weeks, the US Navy has blockaded Iran\u2019s trade by sea, which Iran says is itself an act of war.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TEHEAN Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi night said talks with the United States were making progress with Pakistan\u2019s \u201cgracious effort,\u201d while cautioning Washington against being drawn into further escalation amid a standoff over the Strait of Hormuz.
