Trump Orders U.S. Navy Blockade of Strait of Hormuz
President Donald Trump has ordered the U.S. Navy to blockade the Strait of Hormuz after negotiations between the United States and Iran failed to end the war. He is right to do so, and Tehran would be wise to comply. Trump’s order, on April 12, was part of a response to the Islamic Republic negotiating in bad faith. On April 7, Trump announced that Washington and Tehran had agreed to a two-week ceasefire. That move occurred after the president threatened to bomb every power plant and bridge in Iran. He then sent Vice President JD Vance to negotiate with Iran’s leadership in Islamabad, Pakistan.
