President Trump has issued a directive for the United States Navy to initiate a comprehensive blockade of all vessels navigating the Strait of Hormuz. This military action applies to every ship attempting to enter or depart from the critical maritime corridor.
The executive order includes a mandate for immediate lethal retaliation against any Iranian forces that target American military assets or non-combatant commercial vessels. This policy shift places the strategic waterway under strict naval control to prevent unauthorized transit and counter regional aggression.
