The US deploys 16 warships to the Middle East, planning to enforce a sweeping naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz against Iran, aiming to pressure Tehran back to nuclear weapon negotiations as stated by Trump.
This naval blockade involves stopping, searching, and turning back vessels, disrupting trade and increasing costs for Iran. However, the blockade does not fully isolate Iran economically due to its established links with China, Russia, and various regional trade routes.
Trump insists Iran will not possess a nuclear weapon, signaling the blockade's primary intent is to force diplomatic engagement.
