Following the collapse of peace negotiations in Islamabad, U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans to blockade the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for global oil transport. The announcement came after 21 hours of discussions that failed to resolve key issues, particularly Iran's nuclear weapons program. Trump reiterated threats to bomb Iranian infrastructure, including water treatment facilities and power plants, if Tehran does not comply with U.S. demands. The Iranian delegation expressed that the U.S. needed to take further steps to build trust, while the U.S. team, led by Vice President JD Vance, stated that Iran's refusal to abandon its nuclear ambitions was a significant barrier to peace.
