President Donald Trump says the U.S. Navy will immediately begin a blockade of ships entering or leaving the Strait of Hormuz.

President Donald Trump on April 7 agreed to stop bombing Iran on the condition that the country relinquishes its grip over the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil shipping lane that affects the global oil economy that has proved to be a point of contention throughout the Iran war and shaky peace negotiations.

Declaring victory now, for the second time in 10 months, makes it just a matter of time until a new round of fighting begins, some voters say, as the opposition sees an opening.

ISLAMABAD (AP) — President Donald Trump on Sunday said the U.S. Navy would swiftly begin a blockade of ships entering or leaving the Strait of Hormuz, after U.S.-Iran ceasefire talks in Pakistan ended without an agreement. U.S. Central Command announced ...

A two-week ceasefire to the Iran War entered its fifth day on Sunday as President Donald Trump declared a full U.S. naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Iran closed the strait, a key chokepoint for global trade, shortly after the war began and has charged a fee for ships to pass through.

The United States and Iran ended a historic round of face-to-face talks early Sunday without reaching an agreement and the fate of the fragile, two-week ceasefire still unclear.

Friday marks six months since the ceasefire in Gaza took effect, but progress remains limited. The fighting between Israeli forces and Hamas-led militants has mostly stopped, yet challenges persist.

Russia and Ukraine agreed to a 32-hour ceasefire on the Orthodox Easter weekend, but as predicted, both sides have since accused the other of thousands of violations against the temporary peace agreement.

Both sides have reason to end the war but share no common ground.
