US President Donald Trump announced a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz starting 10 AM ET on April 13, affecting all vessels.
Trump said he doesn’t care whether Iran returns to negotiations after Islamabad talks collapsed without an agreement.
US demands include ending Iran’s uranium enrichment, dismantling nuclear facilities, reopening Hormuz toll‑free, and halting support to proxies.
Iran’s parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf warned Iran will not yield, while Vice President JD Vance said Tehran refused US terms.
