Iran live updates: Trump to hold national security meeting Monday, officials say

Iran's Parliamentary Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf criticized the U.S. blockade on Iran calling it "hostage-taking of the world's economy" and said a reopening of the Strait of Hormuz is "impossible," in a post on X Wednesday.

"A complete ceasefire only makes sense if it is not violated by the maritime blockade and the hostage-taking of the world's economy, and if the Zionist warmongering across all fronts is halted; reopening the Strait of Hormuz is impossible with such a flagrant breach of the ceasefire," Ghalibaf said.

"They did not achieve their goals through military aggression, nor will they through bullying. The only way forward is to recognize the rights of the Iranian nation," Ghalibaf said.

President Donald Trump said that a renewed round of peace talks in the next 36 to 72 hours is "possible" in a text exchange with the New York Post Wednesday morning. The post article cited sources saying that a new round of talks is possible as soon as Friday.

"It's possible! President DJT," Trump said in a text message when asked about the possibility of those talks, according to the New York Post.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy confirmed its interdiction and seizure of two vessels on Wednesday which it said were "attempting to secretly exit the Strait of Hormuz."

The IRGC Navy named the two vessels as the MSC Francesca and the Epaminondas. Both were transferred to Iranian territorial waters "in order to examine the cargo and documents," the navy said.

ABC News has reached out to MSC for comment.

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif thanked President Donald Trump for extending the ceasefire "to allow ongoing diplomatic efforts to take their course."

He called on both sides to continue to observe the ceasefire and said Pakistan will "continue its earnest efforts for negotiated settlement of conflict."
