Summary
"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," Trump said in a post to his social media platform Truth Social. The U.S. Central Command said in a post on X late Sunday that the U.S. military would begin implementing the blockade on Monday at 10 a.m. The blockade of vessels transiting the strait appeared to be somewhat more limited than the broad enforcement action Trump initially announced. The announcement of a U.S. blockade has dimmed hopes that the war would end in the coming days following peace talks in Islamabad.
