US EditionTrump says U.S. will blockade Strait of Hormuz after Iran peace talks fail
The move follows failed Iran talks and could disrupt global oil flows, with the strait carrying 20% of the world’s crude supply, officials said.
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump announced the United States Navy would "immediately" begin blockading the Strait of Hormuz, instructing forces to destroy Iranian mines and interdict vessels paying tolls to Iran.
- Negotiations in Islamabad ended without agreement on Sunday as the United States and Iran failed to bridge core disputes over Iran's nuclear program, leaving the 14-day ceasefire in doubt.
- Responsible for transporting 20% of global oil, the Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint where the United States military transited two destroyers ahead of mine-clearing operations, a first since the war began.
- While Trump did not signal immediate resumption of full-scale warfare, he warned the military stands "LOCKED AND LOADED" and is ready to "finish up the little that is left of Iran" if interference occurs.
- Neither the United States nor Iran has indicated what follows the 14-day ceasefire's expiration on April 22, though Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar stated his country will attempt to facilitate new diplomatic dialogue.
