Iran War Live Updates: Trump Says U.S. Will ‘Blockade’ Strait of Hormuz After No Peace Deal Reached: #The New_York_Times
![]() 914 Sunday, 12 April, 2026, 20:26 President Trump said Sunday that the United States will blockade the Strait of Hormuz, stepping up pressure on Iran after marathon peace talks between top Iranian and American leaders in Pakistan ended without a breakthrough. The announcement by Mr. Trump plunged the already brittle truce into further uncertainty. Vice President JD Vance and the chief Iranian negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, met in Pakistan over the weekend, but did not reach a deal to fully reopen the strait or conclusively end the war. |
