US Central Command Enforces Naval Blockade on Iran in Strait of Hormuz
The United States Central Command announced that a naval blockade on Iran in the Strait of Hormuz has come into effect immediately. This move follows President Donald Trump's declaration to reinstate the "Iranian blockade" and impose a 20% tariff benefiting the US. President Trump stated, "The Strait of Hormuz is open, and it will remain open, with or without Iran. The blockade targets only Iranian vessels." The enforcement of this blockade marks a significant escalation in US-Iran tensions in this strategic maritime corridor.
