Trump announced a blockade against Iranian ships in the Strait of Hormuz
The situation in the Middle East has taken another sharp turn. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
United States President Donald Trump issued a firm statement regarding Iran, announcing the start of a naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz. The President stated that Washington is ready to take drastic measures against Iran's actions in the region and will not rule out even the most severe scenarios if necessary.
On his social media page, Trump announced that the US Navy has begun monitoring the movement of all ships passing through the strait and blocking them when necessary. This decision was explained by threats to security in the region and the need to ensure the stability of global trade routes.
The US side accused Iran of international hostage-taking and assessed the possibility of planting mines around the strait as an open attack on the global economy. The negotiation process remains complex.
Although progress is being observed in some areas, disagreements regarding Iran's nuclear program and the free movement of ships persist. Trump emphasized that he has given clear orders for US warships to establish active control in international waters and to immediately neutralize any detected mines.
He warned that any aggression against American soldiers or peaceful civilian vessels would be met with a powerful counter-strike. Currently, the White House administration is developing new economic pressure measures against tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz.
It is said that these steps are aimed at protecting the principles of free navigation. At the same time, the US plans to involve other countries in these security operations.
Against the backdrop of this instability in the region, it was reported that a telephone conversation took place between the leaders of Russia and Iran, while France expressed its readiness to act as a mediator in negotiations. The current situation is a serious test for the global energy and political balance and remains at the center of the international community's attention.
