Strait to crisis: Trump orders Hormuz blockade after talks sink

 Trump has declared an immediate naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz following failed diplomatic talks with Iran. Trump stated Iran’s alleged “extortion” would cease, vowing military action if necessary. This move, potentially illegal under international law, threatens global energy supplies, impacting major Asian economies and allies, while potentially benefiting the US. Trump has declared an immediate naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz following failed diplomatic talks with Iran.
