The US Central Command will begin implementing a blockade of all maritime traffic entering and exiting Iranian ports. The blockade will start at 10 am ET on Monday and will be enforced impartially against vessels of all nations. US forces will not impede freedom of navigation for vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz to and from non-Iranian ports. The US president has vowed to take action against every vessel in international waters that has paid a toll to Iran. Iran's Revolutionary Guards have responded by warning that military vessels approaching the Strait will be considered a ceasefire breach and dealt with harshly. The blockade comes after marathon talks between the US and Iran failed to reach a deal to end the war.
