US President Donald Trump has announced the reimposition of a naval blockade targeting Iranian ports and vessels linked to Iran, effective from 23:30 on Tuesday. Under the measure, all vessels travelling to or from Iranian ports, as well as ships owned or operated by the Iranian government, will be barred from transiting the Strait of Hormuz and leaving the Gulf of Oman for international waters. The restrictions had previously been lifted following the signing of the Islamabad Memorandum between Washington and Tehran, but have now been reinstated. US Central Command (CENTCOM) said it would take the necessary military action to enforce the blockade, including disabling or destroying vessels that violate the restrictions.
