Trump: We will impose a complete blockade only on ships coming from or to Iranian ports or carrying any Iranian cargo

U.S. President Donald Trump affirmed that “oil is flowing in unprecedented abundance, thanks to the immense power of the U.S. military.” In a post on his Truth Social account, the U.S. president “extended special greetings to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Caine, and Commander of U.S. Central Command Admiral Brad Cooper. Thanks to them, and to all members of the strongest military in the world, the Strait of Hormuz has been opened to all ships except those from Iran, due to its false, violent, and malicious leadership, which is leading it toward total destruction.” He added, “Therefore, we will impose a complete blockade, but only on ships coming from or going to Iranian ports, or carrying any Iranian cargo.”
