DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A ship ran aground in the Strait of Hormuz while using a route not approved by Iran, state television in Tehran reported Wednesday.
The vessel was identified as a foreign container ship, with no other details.
The report appeared aimed at underlining Tehran’s claims to control the strait, which the world has long considered an international waterway.
It saw a fifth of all oil and natural gas pass through it in peacetime.
Iran has used its ability to choke off the waterway as a key source of leverage since the war began, disrupting global markets for energy and other critical goods.
The report came as U.S.
Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, U.S.
President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, were in Doha, Qatar, for talks over reaching a permanent end to the Iran war.
Iran’s top negotiator, Kazem Gharibabadi, traveled to Qatar with a team as well.
Technical talks between diplomats began Wednesday in Qatar, said two regional officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the closed-door discussions.
Negotiators aim to nail down specifics to pave the way for top leaders to seal an agreement, though differences over the strait and Lebanon loom large.
Sheikh Mohammed also met with Gharibabadi and other Iranian officials.
An Iranian statement said they discussed “the implementation process of the memorandum of understanding on ending the imposed war, as well as the existing challenges and obstacles to its implementation.”
Pakistani mediators also were on hand.
Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, a key negotiator, told Iranian state television overnight that work continues to try to reach a permanent end to the war.
“We are engaged in dialogue, but if they refuse to implement what has been agreed through dialogue, we are prepared for war,” Qalibaf said.
Lebanon is another key point in a final deal.
Iran has insisted that all fighting between the Iranian-backed militia Hezbollah and Israeli military forces there end.
Iran also has called for Israel to give up the land it occupies in southern Lebanon now.
Israel insists it must hold the territory and have a free hand to attack Hezbollah, which has been launching attacks into northern Israel.
While ship traffic in the strait dropped after this weekend’s attacks, more countries say their vessels have gotten out.
Thailand’s Foreign Ministry said Tuesday that 10 out of 11 Thai-flagged vessels or vessels chartered by Thai operators have departed the Strait of Hormuz safely.
South Korean officials say all but two of the country’s 26 vessels that were stranded have left safely.
Also Wednesday, Iraqi authorities shot down a small drone over Baghdad’s heavily fortified Green Zone, where many embassies and government buildings are located, two Iraqi security officials said.
They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment publicly.
One of the officials said the drone was unarmed and likely was being used for surveillance.
No group immediately claimed the drone as theirs.
After the U.S. and Israel launched their war on Iran in late February, Iranian-backed Iraqi militias launched frequent attacks on U.S. military and diplomatic facilities in Iraq.
The drone being shot down overnight Wednesday was the first security incident in Baghdad since the U.S. and Iran agreed to a ceasefire.
