Trump says US will blockade Strait of Hormuz after Iran peace talks collapse
"Effective immediately, the United States Navy, the Finest in the World, will begin the process of BLOCKADING any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz. No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas."
"We need to see an affirmative commitment that they will not seek a nuclear weapon, and they will not seek the tools that would enable them to quickly achieve a nuclear weapon."
"(A)t an appropriate moment, we are fully 'LOCKED AND LOADED,' and our Military will finish up the little that is left of Iran!"
Negotiations between US officials and Iran in Pakistan ended without agreement, jeopardizing a ceasefire in the Middle East. President Trump announced a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, aiming to limit Iran's economic leverage. He emphasized the importance of Iran's nuclear ambitions in the conflict's escalation. Vice-President JD Vance stated that the US requires Iran to commit to not pursuing nuclear weapons. Iran's officials blamed the US for the breakdown, while the US pointed to Iran's refusal to abandon its nuclear path as the main issue.
