Its crew had to abandon the vessel and one seafarer was missing, the sources said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Repeated pattern<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Monday&#8217;s events appeared to fit a pattern that has emerged since Trump launched &#8220;Operation Epic Fury&#8221; alongside Israel more than five months ago. He has repeatedly threatened military action against Iran, only to later point to diplomatic contacts as a reason to step back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Iran, however, has publicly rejected negotiations with Washington since the collapse in early July of a memorandum of understanding the two sides signed the previous month in an attempt to end the conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump has yet to achieve the objectives he set out at the start of the war: dismantling Iran&#8217;s nuclear programme, curbing its ability to attack regional rivals and creating conditions for Iranians to overthrow their rulers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dispute over Hormuz remains a central point of contention. Washington says the June memorandum required Iran to reopen the strategic waterway, while Tehran says the text explicitly preserved its authority over shipping traffic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iran wants control over inbound shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and visibility over outbound traffic, with the ability to intervene if necessary, under a plan being discussed with Oman to reopen the strategic waterway, a senior Iranian source told&nbsp;Reuters&nbsp;on Tuesday.
