Iran's Revolutionary Guards have declared that they maintain complete control over the Strait of Hormuz, warning that any miscalculation by adversaries could lead to entrapment in a 'deadly vortex.' This statement follows President Donald Trump's announcement of an immediate US naval blockade aimed at preventing shipping traffic in the strategic waterway. The blockade was announced after US-Iran peace talks in Islamabad ended without an agreement, leaving the status of a fragile ceasefire uncertain. The US Vice President JD Vance emphasized the need for Iran to commit to not pursuing nuclear weapons. The ongoing conflict, now in its seventh week, has resulted in thousands of casualties, including many civilians in Lebanon due to continued Israeli attacks. Trump also threatened to impose tariffs on countries supplying weapons to Iran, specifically mentioning China, and warned of severe consequences for Iran's civilian infrastructure if it does not abandon its nuclear ambitions. He justified the blockade by stating that Iran should not control which ships pass through the Strait of Hormuz, suggesting that this operation would impact oil sales significantly.
