April 13, 2026 - A U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz began Monday as an effort to raise pressure on Tehran, threatening to threatened a fragile cease-fire between Iran and the United States as European countries rejected involvement in the move.
A U.S. military official confirmed the blockade was in effect without providing additional details, and there was no indication of any incident in the blockade’s first 90 minutes. President Trump said on social media shortly after it started that any Iranian ships that approached the blockade would be “immediately ELIMINATED.”

April 12, 2026 - The top Iranian negotiator on Sunday appeared to leave the door open for future diplomacy after marathon peace negotiations between Iran and the United States failed to immediately produce an agreement to end the war.
The fate of the fragile truce now remains uncertain after the 21 hours of talks in Pakistan, led by the Iranian negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, and Vice President JD Vance. Mr. Vance said in the early hours of Sunday that Iran had “chosen not to accept our terms,” before departing the capital, Islamabad.
