US President Donald Trump announced the naval blockade of Iran will stay in place until a peace deal is reached.
Trump said the ceasefire expires Wednesday, making extension unlikely, and a delegation led by Vice President JD Vance will travel to Islamabad.
Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz, stating it will stay shut until the US lifts the blockade, affecting a oil shipping route.
Trump claimed on Truth.Social that Iran’s military and missile capabilities have been “wiped out,” dismissing contrary media reports.
