President Donald Trump has announced the United States will implement a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. This directive follows reports that peace negotiations with Iran failed to yield an agreement.
Under the new order, the U.S. Navy will be directed to intercept any vessels that have paid tolls to Iran. This action aims to disrupt financial flows to Iran through the critical maritime chokepoint.
Multiple news outlets, including CBS News and The New York Times, have confirmed the President's decision to order the blockade. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
