U.S. Begins Strait of Hormuz Naval Blockade After Iran Peace Talks Fail
- The U.S. has initiated a naval blockade of all ships entering or leaving Iranian ports, including areas along the Gulf, Gulf of Oman, and Strait of Hormuz, effective from Monday, citing risks of diversion and capture without flag distinction.
- The blockade excludes neutral transit through the Strait of Hormuz to non-Iranian destinations and allows humanitarian shipments subject to inspection, warning vessels that approach may be intercepted or captured.
- Iran condemned the blockade, calling it illegal and equivalent to piracy, and vowed to establish a permanent mechanism to control the Strait as a response.
- France and the UK plan talks for a peaceful multinational mission to restore freedom of navigation, while China opposes the blockade and urges a lasting cease-fire.
