US Military to Block Ships from Iranian Ports After Talks Yield No Agreement

The US military says its blockade of Iranian ports will begin on today at 1400 GMT, but that it will not impede vessels bound to or from other countries in the region

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard says the Strait of Hormuz is open for civilian vessels, but says that military ships “will be dealt with severely”.

Iran’s Parliamentary Speaker Mohammad Baqer Ghalibaf has blamed the US for the failure of the ceasefire negotiations in Pakistan, saying the US officials failed to gain the trust of the Iranian delegation.

The US "will not impede" vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz to or from other countries - oil prices climb above $100 again over the tensions

It follows a Truth Social post from President Donald Trump saying the US Navy will "blockade any and all ships" trying to enter or leave the strait.
