U.S. President Donald Trump said the United States had launched military attacks targeting Iranian capabilities linked to the strategically important Strait of Hormuz and vowed that operations would continue. Speaking at the White House, Trump said U.S. forces were striking assets connected to the waterway, which is a key route for global oil shipments. He also announced that Washington was restoring a blockade aimed at Iran, claiming the U.S. had taken control of the strait. According to Trump, countries that continue doing business with Iran would not be allowed to pass through the waterway, while other nations would retain access.
