DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) \u2014 A ship ran aground in the Strait of Hormuz while using a route not approved by Iran, state television in Tehran reported Wednesday. The report identified the affected vessel as a foreign container ship, but offered no other immediate details.<\/p>\n

The report appeared aimed at underlining Tehran\u2019s claims to control the strait, which has long been considered by the world as an international waterway and saw a fifth of all oil and natural gas pass through it in peacetime.<\/p>\n

Iran has used its ability to choke off the narrow waterway as a key source of leverage since the war began, disrupting global markets for energy and other critical goods.<\/p>\n

The report also came as U.S. Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, U.S. President Donald Trump\u2019s son-in-law, were in Doha, Qatar, for talks over reaching a permanent end to the Iran war.<\/p>\n

Technical talks between diplomats began Wednesday in Qatar, said two regional officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the closed-door discussions. Those discussions see negotiators aiming to nail down specifics to pave the way for top leaders to seal an agreement, though the differences over the strait and Lebanon still loom large.<\/p>\n

Iran offered no immediate acknowledgment of the negotiations starting.<\/p>\n

The Strait of Hormuz is a key sticking point in talks<\/h4>\n

Iran and the United States agreed as part of an interim deal to allow ships to pass uncharged for 60 days, but Tehran insisted it must control the routes of the vessels and later charge fees for passage, upending decades of practice in the waterway. The U.S. and many Gulf Arab states say they won\u2019t agree to the charges. An effort by Oman and a U.N. agency to launch a new route near Oman\u2019s shore sparked attacks across the Mideast over last weekend, highlighting the tensions still gripping the Mideast.<\/p>\n

Iranian state TV said the ship \u201cran aground with its cargo because of shallow waters along the route it had chosen and was unable to continue sailing.\u201d It said shippers needed to follow the instructions of Iran\u2019s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard in the strait.<\/p>\n

The Guard\u2019s navy \u201chas repeatedly warned captains, shipowners and officials of shipping companies around the world that any entry or exit through routes other than the \u2018Route of Authority\u2019 in the Persian Gulf could lead to irreparable incidents,\u201d it said. The report did not mention the two ships Iran attacked in recent days for daring to head out through the strait without Tehran\u2019s permission, including one that was carrying crude oil from Qatar.<\/p>\n

US negotiators are in Qatar and Iranians are expected<\/h4>\n

Witkoff and Kushner arrived in Qatar on Tuesday ahead of talks with Qatar mediating. While Iran has insisted it planned no meetings with the Americans, their comments left open the possibility of so-called \u201cindirect negotiations,\u201d in which the two nations pass messages through Qatari officials. That has happened multiple times during negotiations in the second Trump administration.<\/p>\n

Qatar early Wednesday morning acknowledged a meeting between the Americans and its foreign minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani. A readout from Qatar\u2019s Foreign Ministry said the men talked about the interim deal \u201calong with the efforts aimed at promoting security and stability in the region through dialogue and diplomacy.\u201d Lebanon also was discussed, another key point in a final deal as Iran has been insisted that all fighting between the Iranian-backed militia Hezbollah and Israeli military forces end.<\/p>\n

Iran also has called for Israel to give up the land it occupies in southern Lebanon now. Israel insists it must hold the territory and have a free hand to attack Hezbollah, which has been launching attacks into northern Israel.<\/p>\n

Iran did not immediately acknowledge any talks on Wednesday. However, Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, a key negotiator, told Iranian state television overnight that work continues to try to reach a permanent end to the war.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are engaged in dialogue, but if they refuse to implement what has been agreed through dialogue, we are prepared for war,\u201d Qalibaf said.<\/p>\n

More ships get out of Strait of Hormuz<\/h4>\n

While ship traffic in the strait dropped after this weekend\u2019s attacks, more countries say their vessels have gotten out.<\/p>\n

Thailand\u2019s Foreign Ministry said Tuesday that 10 out of 11 Thai-flagged vessels or vessels chartered by Thai operators have departed the Strait of Hormuz safely. South Korean officials say all but two of the country\u2019s 26 vessels that were stranded have left safely.<\/p>\n

Iraq shoots down drone over Baghdad<\/h4>\n

Also Wednesday, Iraqi authorities shot down a small drone over Baghdad\u2019s heavily fortified Green Zone, where many embassies and government buildings are located, two Iraqi security officials said. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment publicly. One of the officials said the drone was unarmed and likely was being used for surveillance. No group immediately claimed the drone as theirs.<\/p>\n

After the U.S. and Israel launched their war on Iran in late February, Iranian-backed Iraqi militias launched frequent attacks on U.S. military and diplomatic facilities in Iraq. The drone being shot down overnight Wednesday was the first security incident in Baghdad since the U.S. and Iran agreed to a ceasefire.<\/p>\n
