Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that Israel will support U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to impose a naval blockade against Iran. According to the report, U.S. Central Command stated that the blockade would take effect from 8 p.m. Bangladesh time, targeting vessels heading toward Iranian ports in the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman.
Netanyahu also said that U.S. Vice President JD Vance briefed him after returning from Pakistan about recent discussions with Iran, which ended without any final agreement. Meanwhile, Iran warned that any military ship advancing toward the Strait of Hormuz would be considered a violation of the ceasefire.
The developments come amid heightened regional tensions, with the blockade expected to affect maritime routes and diplomatic relations in the Gulf region.
