And good evening from the newsroom, topping our CNN global war coverage tonight.

A tenuous cease fire with a deadline pushback by the President planned peace talks on shaky ground in Iran vowing retaliation for what it calls U.S.

armed piracy on the ship.

Sentcom released this video of what it says is an Iranian-flagged cargo vessel attempting to reach Iran in violation

of the U.S. blockade. Now, after the ship failed to comply with repeated warnings over a six-hour

period, CENTCOM says the Navy instructed the crew to vacate the engine room of the ship and then fired.

Motor vessel, Toska, vacate your engine room, vacate your engine room.

We're prepared to subject you to disabling fire.

Okay, we gave the flare.

Now we're getting one.

Uh, anything. That, according to Sentcom. Now, the propulsion of the Iranian boat had been disabled by those

multiple shots from a guided missile destroyer. The Marines eventually repelled down to the cargo

ship, took control of it. Iran called this a violation of the ceasefire, said the armed forces

of the Islamic Republic of Iran will soon respond to and retaliate against this U.S. armed

piracy."

End quote.

Now, earlier yesterday, President Trump also accused Iran of violating the ceasefire in a social

media post.

This weekend, an IRGC gunboat fired on an oil tanker, followed by a cargo vessel hit by an unknown

projectile.

The president's post went on to say, we're offering a very fair and reasonable deal, and I hope they take it because if they don't, the United States is going to knock out every single power plant and every single bridge in Iran. No more Mr. Nice Guy. New reporting tonight as well that the president's public commentary surrounding negotiations has a time been detrimental to the ultimate success.

That is according to some Trump officials who spoke to CNN.
