U.S. disables blockade runner as Iran talks continue

U.S. Central Command said late Saturday it disabled a St. Kitts-flagged ship in the Gulf of Oman after it ignored multiple warnings and tried to leave the region after visiting an Iranian port. On Friday night the U.S. carried out what President Trump called "minor" strikes on Iranian air defenses on Qeshm Island. Trump says there has been "a lot of progress" in Qatar-mediated talks; officials told AP that Iran won't discuss its nuclear program until the U.S. meets core conditions, including ending the blockade of its ports and lifting sanctions.
