US naval blockade of Iran intensifies
U.S. Central Command has announced that over 10,000 personnel and a dozen warships are now enforcing a total maritime blockade of Iran.
This aggressive maneuver follows the failure of weekend peace talks in Islamabad and aims to exert maximum economic pressure on Tehran.
While President Trump suggests that a second round of negotiations could resume in Pakistan shortly, the blockade has already caused significant disruptions to global energy markets.
Tensions remain high as Iran threatens retaliation against regional targets in response to the naval containment.
