Washington — President Donald Trump on Sunday announced an immediate U.S. Navy blockade of all ships attempting to enter or leave the Strait of Hormuz after Islamabad peace talks with Iran failed to resolve disputes over Tehran's nuclear program. He posted the declaration on Truth Social and ordered naval interdiction of vessels alleged to have paid transit tolls to Iran. Washington said the Navy will interdict vessels in international waters that have paid tolls to Tehran, with officials framing the move as a direct response to alleged Iranian maritime threats and claims of mine-laying. This week regional governments, shipping companies and U.S. naval units are assessing security, commercial impacts and operational plans, and U.S. forces are expected to increase patrols in coming days.
