Trump orders naval blockade of Strait of Hormuz after talks collapse

President Donald Trump announced a US Navy blockade of ships entering or leaving the Strait of Hormuz after US‑Iran ceasefire talks in Pakistan collapsed; CENTCOM said the blockade would begin Monday and apply to vessels from all nations while allowing traffic between non‑Iranian ports. Iran said the Strait remains under its control and warned of a forceful response to military vessels. The move risks disrupting global oil shipping, a concern given the Strait’s historical share of global oil traffic, and analysts doubt the plan’s practicality amid ongoing tensions.
