Donald Trump announced the start of a naval blockade of Iranian ports
Former US President Donald Trump announced on his Truth Social page that a naval blockade has begun around Iranian ports. Zamin.uz reported this.
He noted that the US Navy has taken full control of the region and severely restricted Iran's ability to use sea lanes. In his statement, Trump claimed that the bulk of Iran's navy has been destroyed, with most of them sunk to the bottom of the sea.
He stated that a total of 158 ships were targeted during military operations in the Middle East. According to Trump, the small number of fast-attack craft remaining in Iran's possession have been spared for now because they do not pose a serious threat.
However, the president strictly warned that if these vessels approach the designated blockade zone, military force will be used immediately and they will be destroyed. He emphasized that the experience the US has applied in the fight against drug trafficking at sea would yield effective results here as well.
Trump added that this process will be implemented very quickly and decisively. Starting from April 13 of this year, the US Navy plans to completely block all routes leading to Iranian ports and stop even those ships that have paid for safe passage.
Trump mentioned that other countries might participate in this international operation, although no country has officially supported the initiative so far. At the moment, the situation in the region remains extremely tense.
This statement is expected to cause serious diplomatic debates and concerns on the international stage. The global community is closely monitoring the development of events.
