Trump Threatens U.S. Navy Blockade of Key Oil Strait

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has vowed to impose a full naval blockade on the Strait of Hormuz if he returns to office. He made the statement in an exclusive interview with Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo. The plan is described as an "all or nothing" measure aimed at Iran. Its goal would be to cut off Iran's oil revenues by stopping its shipments. The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow sea passage. It is one of the world's most critical routes for global oil shipments. A blockade would likely disrupt international oil supplies and raise prices. Trump's comments follow reports of failed indirect talks between the U.S. and Iran. The stated objective of a blockade would be to apply maximum economic pressure on Tehran. Such a military action would represent a major escalation. It would risk significant regional conflict and impact the global economy.
