US Blockades Strait of Hormuz, Threatens Iranian Ships

The United States, trailing in the wake of Israel's ambitions, is once again plunging the world into crisis with its actions in the Strait of Hormuz. Having failed to achieve its objectives on the ground and having disrupted the negotiation table, Washington has now deployed the blockade card in the Strait of Hormuz.

President Donald Trump declared that they would target oil tankers, escalating tensions in a conflict initiated by the US with Israel's dirty agenda. The war, which began on February 28th, saw parties meet in Pakistan on Saturday to solidify a temporary ceasefire and reach an agreement. However, after a 21-hour discussion, Iran and the US failed to reach any accord.

The US administration, unable to secure its demands in the 40-day offensive against Iran and subsequently unable to impose its will during negotiations, had threatened a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. US President Donald Trump announced this blockade yesterday, concluding at 17:00 Turkish time. The US Central Command (CENTCOM) declared they would blockade all maritime traffic entering and exiting Iranian ports, emphasizing that US forces would not impede ships not heading to Iranian ports from passing through the Strait of Hormuz.

In response, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy shared a map indicating safe passage routes through the strait. Iranian forces declared a section in the middle of the strait "dangerous" and advised ships transiting Hormuz to use the routes designated by Iran to avoid naval mines. The US Navy also issued its own blockade route yesterday, issuing a warning. Trump also stated they would target Iranian ships. Experts argue that the blockade planned by the US is contrary to international maritime law. The US had previously implemented blockades in Cuba and Venezuela.

Iranian Parliament Vice Speaker Ali Nikzad stated that the US proposed establishing a legal regime for the Strait of Hormuz involving American participation during the Islamabad talks, a demand Tehran rejected. Iranian Parliament National Security Commission Chairman Ebrahim Azizi claimed Trump's statements about blockading the Strait of Hormuz were "unrealistic and a bluff." Azizi added, "This initiative would be considered an act of war, and we will respond. Furthermore, we can reveal our other cards that we have not yet played." Iran also announced it would target ports in the region.
