President Trump Announces U.S. Navy Blockade of the Strait of Hormuz

Following the collapse of peace talks in Islamabad, President Donald Trump announced on April 12, 2026, that the U.S. Navy would immediately begin a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz to stop all shipping. The move follows Iran's previous effective closure of the waterway during the 'Epic Fury' conflict. Trump stated that U.S. warships are being reloaded with advanced weaponry to enforce the blockade, significantly escalating global energy supply tensions.
