Saudi Arabia has restored full oil pumping capacity of about seven million barrels per day through its East-West pipeline after recent attacks, the energy ministry said on Sunday.

The ministry said affected facilities and the pipeline had recovered and resumed operations, following disruptions during the Iran conflict.

Iran’s delegation to Pakistan was not sent for negotiations but to pursue diplomatic pressure on the United States, a senior lawmaker said on Sunday.

“There is no negotiating team,” Hamidreza Haji Babai said, adding those dispatched aimed to advance what he described as US “surrender” at the United Nations.

Haji Babai said “our negotiation is our battle,” adding the confrontation would continue until the United States is “brought to its knees.”

US President Donald Trump shared an article suggesting he could impose a naval blockade on Iran after talks in Islamabad ended without agreement.

The article titled “The Trump card the president holds if Iran won’t bend: a naval blockade,” from pro-Trump outlet Just the News, said a blockade could pressure Iran’s economy and its oil buyers, including China and India.

The article says such a move would echo what it described as a previous US blockade strategy against Venezuela.

Iran said talks with the United States ended without agreement after some progress but persistent gaps on key issues.

“We reached understanding on some issues, but on two or three important ones there was distance,” Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmail Baghaei said following the discussions on Sunday, adding the talks “did not lead to an agreement.”

Baghaei said diplomacy would continue, with further contacts involving Iran, Pakistan and regional partners.

Pakistan called on Iran and the United States to maintain a ceasefire after direct talks ended without agreement on Sunday.

“It is imperative that the parties continue to uphold their commitment to ceasefire,” Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said, according to a statement from his office.

Dar said Pakistan would continue efforts to facilitate dialogue between the two sides in the coming days.
