The United States has announced a naval blockade targeting Iranian ports after ceasefire talks with Iran ended without any agreement in Pakistan.
Donald Trump said the US Navy would begin blocking ships entering or leaving the Strait of Hormuz, calling it a response to what he described as Iran’s control over the route and its plans to charge vessels for passage.
Later, US Central Command clarified that the blockade would not fully shut the strait. Instead, it will apply only to vessels going to or coming from Iranian ports, including those along the Arabian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman.
Ships travelling between non-Iranian ports will still be allowed to pass.
The blockade is set to begin on Monday at 10 a.m. EDT. The US military said it will be enforced against vessels of all nations linked to Iranian ports and that commercial ships will be given further instructions before it starts.
