US blockades Iranian ports
The high-stakes operation aims to incapacitate Iran's economy by blockading its primary maritime arteries, including the vital Strait of Hormuz.
US Central Command claims maritime superiority in the region, asserting that no commercial vessels have successfully breached the blockade in its first 24 hours.
While President Trump has hinted that diplomatic talks could resume in Pakistan within days, the military remains in a state of maximum pressure.
Global energy markets are already feeling the strain of the blockade, with significant implications for international shipping and supply chains.
