US-Iran Ceasefire Talks Fail, President Trump Announces Strait of Hormuz Blockade

Negotiations between U.S. and Iranian delegations in Islamabad concluded without a ceasefire agreement, with each side blaming the other for the impasse. In response to the diplomatic breakdown, President Trump announced an immediate U.S. naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. This move, aimed at limiting Iran's economic leverage, has heightened concerns regarding regional stability and the global oil market.
