US President Donald Trump has announced a blockade on shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, hours after talks between the United States and Iran in Islamabad collapsed, according to Al Jazeera. In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump said US forces would take swift action to control vessels passing through the strait. He added that ships paying tolls to Iran in international waters would be intercepted by the US Navy, warning that those making such payments would not be guaranteed safe passage.

Disruptions in its operation have already created uncertainty in global energy markets.
The announcement marks a new escalation in US-Iran tensions, with both sides signaling firm stances over control of the strategic waterway.
