Trump says the US naval blockade of Iran ports is underway
President Donald Trump confirmed Monday a U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports is underway, saying “we can’t let a country blackmail” the world.
As featured on
U.S. President Donald Trump has escalated tensions with Iran by announcing a blockade of all Iranian ports. He made the announcement on Monday after 21-hour-long U.S.-Iran ceasefire talks in Pakistan ended without agreement. The blockade aims to pressure Iran to open the critical and strategic Strait of Hormuz and accept a deal to end the war. Iran has responded with threats against other ports in the region, raising concerns that the ceasefire could collapse. Trump claims Iran still wants a deal, but both sides remain entrenched. Pakistan's foreign minister has expressed hope for renewed dialogue.
