Again, this is just to point out the same old narrative (propaganda) being conducted by the western media; the U.S. did not put the peace talks on hold nor did Iran not fail to respond. Iran was the one who earlier said they had no intention of continuing with the negotiations because of “what it described as inconsistent and unreasonable positions, making excessive demands, unrealistic expectations, constant shifts in stance, repeated contradictions”.
Iran “escalating” the standoff in the Strait of Hormuz conveniently leaves out the fact that it was Israel and the United States that started this war while the U.S. was negotiating in bad faith from the start.

Sal Mercogliano is again a good source for breaking down the disruption where anyone with enough critical thinking skills, will understand the impacts on everything around the world:
