Washington, D.C. — President Donald Trump announced the United States would initiate a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz after diplomatic discussions with Iran concluded without an agreement.
The announcement came after talks held in Islamabad, Pakistan. Vice President JD Vance attended the meeting as part of the U.S. delegation. The specific details of the negotiations remain undisclosed.
The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow waterway strategically located between Oman and Iran, connecting the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea. It is a vital transit point for global oil shipments.
