U.S. President Trump: The talks between the U.S. and Iran are going well, with most topics reaching a consensus, but the only truly important nuclear issue has not been resolved. Effective immediately, the U.S. Navy will begin a blockade of any vessels attempting to enter or exit the Strait of Hormuz. I have also instructed the U.S. Navy to search and seize every ship in international waters that has paid a toll to Iran.

Uncertainty Surrounds Next US-Iran Talks in Islamabad
On April 14, sources in Pakistan told Xinhua that it remains uncertain whether the next round of negotiations between the United States and Iran will still take place in the Pakistani capital, Islamabad. Earlier, Reuters reported, citing four sources, that US and Iranian delegations would return to Islamabad for talks later this week. Subsequent updates cited officials from the Iranian embassy in Pakistan stating that the two delegations might hold negotiations as early as this week or early next week. Reports indicated that the Iranian delegation has reserved time from the 17th to the 19th. Some Pakistani media reported earlier the same day that the US-Iran talks would restart on the 16th in Islamabad. US media also reported that if negotiations continue, locations such as Geneva, Switzerland, are being considered. The US and Iranian delegations held talks in Islamabad on the 11th, which concluded on the morning of the 12th without reaching any agreement. (Xinhua) -
China Warns of Strong Countermeasures if U.S. Imposes Tariffs Over Iran Allegations
On April 14, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiajun held a regular press conference. During the conference, a reporter asked about recent media reports claiming that China is providing military support to Iran. U.S. President Donald Trump stated that if it is found that China is supplying weapons to Iran, the U.S. will impose a 50% tariff on China. Guo Jiajun responded that China has previously stated its position on this matter. He reiterated that China consistently adopts a prudent and responsible attitude regarding military exports, implementing strict controls in accordance with its own export control laws and international obligations, and that the related reports are purely fabricated. 'If the U.S. insists on using this as an excuse to impose tariffs on China, China will undoubtedly take strong countermeasures,' Guo Jiajun stated. (Beijing Daily) -
