Donald Trump has triggered a global energy crisis by ordering a complete US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, claiming the Iranian Navy has already been decimated.
Speaking from Joint Base Andrews in Maryland this morning, the President asserted that 150 Iranian vessels are now 'underwater' just as the 10AM EDT Hormuz deadline went into effect. The move follows a total breakdown in diplomatic relations and marks the most aggressive shift in the US-Iran ceasefire 2026 since hostilities began.
