Negotiators are heading back to Islamabad, Pakistan, for another round of talks on Monday, focusing on reopening the strait of Hormuz and blocking. Iran's nuclear path. Trump blasts at Iran for violating the troops by firing on ships near the strait, calling at the end of nice guy time. The U.S. is still blockading Iranian ports, which Iran claims breaks the ceasefire first, that has stalled any real progress on clearing the vital oil route. Meanwhile, the strait of Hormuz stays shut down to traffic. Iranian forces turned back two tankers over the weekend, despite brief claims from both sides that it was open. Trump called the initial deal a big win on Friday, but Iran's top leader shot that down, saying no passage until the blockade lifts. Pope Leo, wrapping up part of his four nation-African tour in Angola, hailed a separate Israel-Levanon
