The U.S. military is set to enforce a blockade on all Iranian ports and coastal areas, increasing pressure on Iran. In response, Iran threatened that no ports in the Persian Gulf or Gulf of Oman would be safe. The blockade will affect vessels of all nations entering or leaving Iranian ports but will allow non-Iranian ships to transit the Strait of Hormuz. This decision follows unsuccessful ceasefire talks, with Iran demanding compensation for damages and the release of frozen assets.
