Failure of Iran-US Talks in Islamabad: The Strait of Hormuz Comes Under American Control

The talks between the United States and Iran in Islamabad ended without an agreement, leading President Donald Trump to announce an immediate naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Trump stated that the U.S. Navy would deny access to the strait and intercept ships that had paid tolls to Iranian authorities. Vice President JD Vance blamed Tehran for the failure of negotiations, while Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf accused the U.S. of failing to gain Iran's trust.
