Iran has said the United States is “not serious” about negotiations, as the UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) reported that a ship was on fire off the coast of Iraq.
The two developments come amid heightened attention to the possibility of talks between Tehran and Washington, although no further details about the negotiations were provided.
UKMTO issued the report on the vessel fire but the available information did not give details about the ship, the cause of the incident or any casualties.
