Trump claims US Navy blockade halts Iranian ships in Strait of Hormuz

President Trump asserts a US Navy blockade is preventing all Iranian vessels from transiting the Strait of Hormuz, a claim that, if true, would mark a major escalation in US-Iran tensions and directly threaten global oil flows. The claim is unverified and likely overstated, as a full blockade would constitute an act of war and provoke a significant Iranian response. The situation is developing, with high stakes for energy markets and regional stability.
