President Trump Orders U.S. Navy Blockade of Strait of Hormuz Amid Iran Tensions
President Trump announced that the U.S. Navy will initiate a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz following unsuccessful peace talks with Iran in Pakistan. This strategic move aims to disrupt Iran's economic leverage by controlling a vital waterway responsible for 20% of global oil transportation. The blockade is part of a broader strategy to counter Iran's nuclear ambitions, which remain a central issue in the ongoing conflict. The announcement follows a 21-hour negotiation that ended without resolution, casting doubt on the stability of a fragile two-week ceasefire.
