Trump blockades Strait of Hormuz as Iran threatens retaliation
Published on April 14, 2026.
The US has begun a blockade on the Strait of Hormous, aimed at preventing ships from entering or exiting all of Iran's ports. This follows failed peace talks in Pakistan. The move is seen as an attempt to further undermine Iran's weakened economy. The blockade is expected to be enforced by the end of the day.
