00:01President Donald Trump ordered the U.S. military to blockade the Strait of Hormuz
00:05after marathon talks with Iran wrapped up on Sunday with no deal to end the war.
00:10In a social media post, Trump said he also told the Navy to, quote,
00:14seek and interdict every vessel in international waters that has paid a toll to Iran.
00:19It came after U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance announced the failed result in Pakistan's capital,
00:25where the talks were held.
00:26We've had a number of substantive discussions with the Iranians.
00:29That's the good news. The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement.
00:33Both sides blamed each other for the failed negotiations.
00:37Vance said Iran chose not to accept American terms, including on nuclear arms.
00:42The simple question is, do we see a fundamental commitment of will for the Iranians
00:47not to develop a nuclear weapon, not just now, not just two years from now, but for the long term?
00:52We haven't seen that yet. We hope that we will.
00:54The talks in Islamabad came after a ceasefire was agreed earlier in the week.
00:58They were the first direct U.S.-Iranian meeting in over a decade,
01:02and the highest level since the 1979 Islamic revolution.
01:07Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson, Ismail Bagai, said the two sides reached an understanding
01:12on some issues but remained far apart on a few key matters.
01:17However, he told Iranian media that diplomacy would continue.
01:21He described an atmosphere of mistrust and said it was natural that an agreement could not be reached in a
01:27single session.
01:30Pakistan's foreign minister Ishak Dar urged the two sides to uphold the two-week truce.
01:36He said his country would continue to facilitate engagement to try and end the fighting that has killed thousands
01:42and sent global oil prices soaring since it began over six weeks ago.
01:46During the talks that started on Saturday, three supertankers carrying oil,
01:51along with some commercial vessels, passed through the Strait of Hormuz.
01:54Shipping data showed they appear to be the first oil tankers to exit the Gulf since the ceasefire deal.
02:00Hundreds of vessels are still stuck there.
