US naval blockade sparks Iran military threat
Published 6 days, 23 hours ago
Description
The United States Navy maintains a naval blockade of Iranian ports despite President Donald Trump's announcement of permanently opening the Strait of Hormuz following China's agreement not to send weapons to Iran. Iran threatens military retaliation against the blockade, which it claims violates the ongoing ceasefire, while the US prepares to deploy 10,000 additional troops to the Middle East. Pakistani mediators attempt diplomatic negotiations to extend the ceasefire before it expires next week.
