US blocks 'all maritime traffic' to Iran ports after Islamabad talks fail, allows Hormuz passage
The US military will blockade all Iranian Gulf ports starting Monday at 1400 GMT, while allowing non-Iranian bound vessels to transit the Strait of Hormuz.
This action follows failed talks with Tehran over its nuclear ambitions, with President Trump accusing Iran of backtracking on assurances and engaging in "WORLD EXTORTION."
