🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 Tensions escalate in the Middle East. Donald Trump announced the start of a naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz after negotiations with Iran in Islamabad failed. The nearly 20-hour meeting failed to resolve the key sticking point: Iran is unwilling to abandon its nuclear program. The U.S. will now: - Intercept ships entering or leaving the strait - Block vessels paying "tolls" to Iran - Begin operations to remove potential mines. Trump called the situation "global extortion" and warned that any attack would be met with a response.
