President Donald Trump announced the U.S. Navy will block all ships entering or leaving the Strait of Hormuz after Iran talks collapsed.
Vice President JD Vance said the U.S. delegation is leaving Pakistan, citing Iran’s refusal to guarantee it will not develop nuclear weapons.
Iran’s IRGC Navy warned any U.S. challenge to its waterway control would meet a firm, forceful response, heightening regional tension.
Two U.S. destroyers reportedly transited the Strait on Saturday, the first such move since the war began, underscoring escalating naval activity.
