US naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz begins
Published 2 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
A US naval blockade on all maritime traffic through Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz has come into effect, after a deadline passed for a ceasefire deal and reopening of the passage. US President Donald Trump says any Iranian ships that challenge the blockade will be sunk, as Iran blames excessive demands from the U-S for stalling a resolution to the conflict.
