Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps warned vessels not to approach the Strait of Hormuz, saying their safety would be at risk.

Police said on the 20th (local time) a series of blasts in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province killed at least seven people and injured others. Authorities said two vehicles were detonated by remote control: a private car carrying passengers exploded first, and a second vehicle exploded about 1 km away while the wounded were being transported to hospital. Both vehicles were destroyed. Security forces and law enforcement have arrived to collect evidence and are investigating.

Iran's foreign ministry spokesman said the foreign minister will meet Pakistan's interior minister in Tehran, the Iranian Students' News Agency reported.
