U.S. negotiators are flying to Pakistan tomorrow for fresh tops with Iran. Just days before the ceasefire runs out. President Trump made the announcement over the weekend. But as of last night, Iran hasn't confirmed if their team will show up. State media there hinted the meeting might not even happen. Tensions are high off Iran's coast, with the U.S. naval blockade in full swing. Yesterday, Central Command dropped video of the destroyer USS Spruins, warning an Iranian ship, then firing shots before boarding and seizing it. This marched the first big interception since the blockade kicked off last week. Iran's president slammed the blockade as illegal and provocative. Meanwhile, their top medical official put the war death toll at 3,375, including 2,800. 75 men, 496 women, and 383 kids under 18. No split yet between civilians and fighters. Pakistan's ramping up security in Islamabad, closing roads to host these talks if they go ahead. The USS Abraham Lincoln is out there enforcing the blockade with F-35 jets and other aircraft

on deck. All eyes stay glued to Pakistan as this fragile truce hangs by a thread, with the blockade grinding on and casualties climbing. I'm Cory with the story. That's your Dallas News Today update, AI powered and always on.
