In a bombshell announcement on Monday, Trump said the US had engaged in "very good" talks to end the war, though Iran denied any dialogue had taken place

Much of Asia is heavily exposed to the energy crisis that has unfolded since the US-Israel attack on Iran began last month.

The vessel, which took on food, fuel and ammunition at Souda Bay in February, reported a laundry fire on March 12 which injured two crew members.

The missiles triggered air raid sirens in parts of Israel, including Tel Aviv where blasts from interceptions were heard.

Earlier on Monday, Trump had postponed for five days a plan to hit Iran's energy grid. Iran later denied that it had engaged in negotiations with the United States.
