    Trump orders U.S. Navy to blockade ships entering or leaving Hormuz and seize toll payers

    Hours after the Islamabad talks failed, Trump posted that the Navy would “immediately” begin blockading ships entering or leaving the Strait of Hormuz, interdict any vessel in international waters that had paid a toll to Iran and destroy Iranian mines. U.S. Central Command later narrowed the order to all traffic entering or leaving Iranian ports and coastal areas from 10 a.m. ET on April 13, saying ships sailing to and from non-Iranian ports could still transit.

    Iran suspends Hormuz tanker traffic again over Israel's strikes on Lebanon

    Fars said tanker transits were "suspended" after Israeli attacks on Lebanon, having let two tankers through earlier that day, and Iranian state media later said Iran had closed the strait; Tasnim said Tehran was weighing an exit from the ceasefire. The White House called a closure "completely unacceptable" and said it had been told privately the reports were false, while Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf said three clauses of Iran's 10-point framework had been violated, making a ceasefire or talks "unreasonable."
