🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran is reportedly considering a voluntary pause on Hormuz shipments to keep talks with the U.S. alive.

The move would reduce the risk of confrontation during the fragile ceasefire, but nothing is confirmed and the situation could shift quickly.

BREAKING:

Iran informed Russia about ongoing military actions of the US in strait of Hormuz.

Iran says there will be big consequences if the US continues blockade

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump:

"34 Ships went through the Strait of Hormuz yesterday, which is by far the highest number since this foolish closure began.

🇺🇸🇮🇩 The U.S. just signed a Major Defense Cooperation Partnership with Indonesia. Maritime, subsurface, autonomous systems, special forces training, the works.

Indonesia sits astride the Strait of Malacca, the world's second most critical shipping chokepoint after Hormuz. China knows exactly what this means.

While Beijing challenges the Hormuz blockade, Washington just locked in the other strait.

🚨 BREAKING:

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump posts a warning to Iran's remaining naval forces as the blockade goes live.

- Warns ANY vessel approaching the blockade will be "immediately ELIMINATED"
- Claims 158 Iranian ships are at the bottom of the sea
- Says Iran's "fast attack ships" were not targeted as they weren't considered a threat
- Adds that 98.2% of drug shipments by sea into the U.S. have stopped

The reason Trump’s counter-blockade in the Strait of Hormuz seems comically absurd is because it is born out of raw desperation. You see, Trump expected Europe and others to send their navies to reopen the Strait, figuring that those regions rely upon trade via the Strait more than we do. What he didn’t figure was how utterly intransigent the Euros and others would be to his pressure campaign. Once he realized that the Euros, Japanese, etc., were simply going to pay the Iranian toll to move their goods through the Strait rather than risk a war, Trump panicked, understanding too late in this affair how dreadfully exposed to the disruptions of Iran’s blockade the US economy was. Now, Trump is scrambling. Desperate to pressure the rest of the world into supporting his bid to reopen the Strait. He still doesn’t get it. Which is why he will keep getting this thing wrong.

The President has announced a naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz due to unsuccessful negotiations with Iran. All vessels paying tolls to Iran in international waters will be subject to interdiction.
