US Naval Forces will blockade all vessels entering or exiting the Strait of Hormuz. This was announced by US President Donald Trump.
"The meeting [in Islamabad] went well; agreement was reached on most points, but the only point that truly mattered — NUCLEAR — was not agreed upon. I hereby truly order the United States Naval Forces, the best in the world, to begin the process of BLOCKADING any and every ship attempting to enter or exit the Strait of Hormuz. At some point, we will switch to the principle of "ALL ALLOWED TO ENTER, ALL ALLOWED TO EXIT," but Iran did not allow this to happen, simply by stating: "There might be a mine somewhere," which no one knows about except them. THIS IS GLOBAL BLACKMAIL, and leaders of countries, especially the United States of America, will never allow themselves to be blackmailed.
I have also instructed our Navy to search and detain every vessel in international waters that has paid a toll to Iran. No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas.
We will also begin destroying mines that the Iranians have laid in the straits. Any Iranian who opens fire on us or on peaceful vessels will be SENT STRAIGHT TO HELL!" — wrote Trump on his Truth Social network.
He added that the blockade would begin shortly.
