New Delhi, April 22 -- Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on Wednesday said that its naval forces seized two container ships attempting to cross the Strait of Hormuz, which has been effectively shut since the war began, AFP reported.

The development comes despite US President Donald Trump announcing he was extending a ceasefire to allow more time for peace talks, after Tehran refused to send a delegation to Pakistan's capital, Islamabad, for the second round of talks.

This is a developing story. More details awaited.
