US President Donald Trump says that the US is going to start “BLOCKADING any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz”.

In a lengthy new post on Truth Social, he says that “the meeting went well, most points were agreed to, but the only point that really mattered, NUCLEAR, was not”.

He says that “at some point” an agreement on free passage will be reached, but “Iran has not allowed that to happen by merely saying, ‘There may be a mine out there somewhere,’ that nobody knows about but them.”

In the same post Trump also says that he’s “instructed our Navy to seek and interdict every vessel in International Waters that has paid a toll to Iran”, and that the US Navy is going to start " destroying the mines the Iranians laid in the Straits".

“No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas,” he says, adding “any Iranian who fires at us, or at peaceful vessels, will be BLOWN TO HELL!”

“The Blockade will begin shortly,” he says.
