🇺🇸🚢 TRUMP ORDERS TOTAL NAVAL BLOCKADE ON IRAN: "ANY SHIP ENTERING OR LEAVING THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ WILL BE BLOCKED"
⚓ It's no longer a threat, it's an order. Just hours after 21 hours of negotiations collapsed in Islamabad, Trump posted on Truth Social: "Effective immediately, the United States Navy, the Finest in the World, will begin the process of BLOCKADING any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz."
🛢️ The goal: cut off Iran's last revenue stream. While Tehran kept the strait closed to the West, it continued exporting its own oil and charging up to $2 million per ship for passage. Trump told Fox News: "We're not going to let Iran make money selling oil. It's going to be all or none."
🎯 Trump also ordered the Navy to "seek and interdict every vessel in International Waters that has paid a toll to Iran." He warned: "Any Iranian who fires at US forces or peaceful vessels will be BLOWN TO HELL."
🇮🇷 The Revolutionary Guard responded that the strait remains open for civilian vessels under its regulations, but warned that any military ship approaching "will be dealt with severely" and called this a ceasefire violation.
📉 Over 600 vessels remain stuck in the Gulf. 60% of the IRGC naval fleet patrolling Hormuz is still intact. Analysts warn this could worsen the global energy crisis rather than resolve it.
🌍 Diplomacy died in Islamabad. What comes next will be decided on the water.
