Trump Announces U.S. Blockade of Strait of Hormuz -- WSJ

Dow Jones04-12

By Vera Bergengruen

President Trump said that the U.S. Navy would begin blockading "any and all ships trying to enter or leave the Strait of Hormuz," after peace talks with Iran in Islamabad collapsed this weekend.

Trump said the meeting went well and that most points were agreed to, but the "only point that really mattered, NUCLEAR, was not.

"I have also instructed our Navy to seek and interdict every vessel in International Waters that has paid a toll to Iran. No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas," Trump said Sunday in a post on social media. He also said "other countries" would be involved in the blockade with the U.S., without providing more details.

Some five days after the two countries agreed to a fragile cease-fire, Trump threatened that "at an appropriate moment" the U.S. military would "finish up the little that is left of Iran!"

In the post on his Truth Social network, Trump said that Iran was carrying out extortion by blocking the strait, through which 20% of the world's oil usually travels, with mines, which the Navy has begun hunting. "They want money and, more importantly, they want Nuclear. Additionally and, at an appropriate moment, we are fully "LOCKED AND LOADED," and our Military will finish up the little that is left of Iran!"

"Any Iranian who fires at us, or at peaceful vessels, will be BLOWN TO HELL!," he said.
