Trump orders naval blockade on Iran

Following 21 hours of inconclusive negotiations in Islamabad, President Trump announced that the U.S. Navy will begin blockading all Iranian Gulf ports and interdicting vessels paying tolls to Iran.

The failure of Vice President JD Vance's mission to secure a nuclear deal has left the regional ceasefire in a state of extreme fragility.

Experts warn that the blockade could trigger a global energy crisis and potentially lead to a direct military confrontation with Tehran.

Iran has responded by warning that any military vessels approaching the strategic waterway will face a forceful response.
