Iran’s army says US plan to blockade Hormuz ‘amounts to piracy’

The Iranian military stated that a naval blockade announced by the United States on vessels in international waters would be illegal and amount to piracy. President Donald Trump announced that the US would begin a blockade of all Iranian ports starting Monday at 14:00 GMT, following the collapse of talks between the warring sides in Pakistan. Despite these threats, the ceasefire between the US, Israel, and Iran that came into effect last week appears to be holding.
