       #Trump says the #US Navy will ‘immediately’ begin a blockade of the #StraitOfHormuzTrump posted Sunday on social media that the blockade would stop vessels from entering or leaving the strait.After US officials ended peace talks with Iran in Pakistan, Trump sought to exert more strategic control over the waterway responsible for the transportation of 20% of global #oil supplies—hoping to take away Iran’s key source of economic leverage in the war.#geopolitics #Iran https://apnews.com/live/iran-war-israel-trump-04-12-2026#0000019d-81ca-d6ae-a7fd-d9fe3b080000

       Defending his planned #blockade, #Trump said that #Iran cannot control which ships go through the #StraitOfHormuz, declaring that either every ship should have safe passage or none would.“We’re not going to let Iran make money on selling #oil to people that they like,” Trump said on FauxNews.The blockade will be similar to what the US did with #Venezuela, though on a larger scale, Trump said, suggesting more tankers would come to the #US to buy oil as a result of the blockade.#MafiaState

       @Nonilex it might be a good strategy for #Venezuela to declare the US Armed forces to be a terrorist organization. I can't say that I know anyone from Venezuela so I'm trying to put this strategy out somewhere.
