Effective immediately, the United States Navy, the Finest in the World, will begin the process of BLOCKADING any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz. At some point, we will reach an \u201cALL BEING ALLOWED TO GO IN, ALL BEING ALLOWED TO GO OUT\u201d basis, but Iran has not allowed that to happen by merely saying, \u201cThere may be a mine out there somewhere,\u201d that nobody knows about but them. THIS IS WORLD EXTORTION, and Leaders of Countries, especially the United States of America, will never be extorted. I have also instructed our Navy to seek and interdict every vessel in International Waters that has paid a toll to Iran. No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas. We will also begin destroying the mines the Iranians laid in the Straits. Any Iranian who fires at us, or at peaceful vessels, will be BLOWN TO HELL! Iran knows, better than anyone, how to END this situation which has already devastated their Country. Their Navy is gone, their Air Force is gone, their Anti Aircraft and Radar are useless, Khomeini, and most of their \u201cLeaders,\u201d are dead, all because of their Nuclear ambition. The Blockade will begin shortly. Other Countries will be involved with this Blockade. Iran will not be allowed to profit off this Illegal Act of EXTORTION. They want money and, more importantly, they want Nuclear. Additionally and, at an appropriate moment, we are fully \u201cLOCKED AND LOADED,\u201d and our Military will finish up the little that is left of Iran! President DONALD J. TRUMP<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Iran promised to open the Strait of Hormuz, and they knowingly failed to do so. This caused anxiety, dislocation, and pain to many people and Countries throughout the World. They say they put mines in the water, even though all of their Navy, and most of their \u201cmine droppers,\u201d have been completely blown up. They may have done so, but what ship owner would want to take the chance? There is great dishonor and permanent harm to the reputation of Iran, and what\u2019s left of their \u201cLeaders,\u201d but we are beyond all of that. As they promised, they better begin the process of getting this INTERNATIONAL WATERWAY OPEN AND FAST! Every Law in the book is being violated by them. I have been fully debriefed by Vice President JD Vance, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner, on the meeting that took place in Islamabad through the kind and very competent leadership of Field Marshal Asim Munir, and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, of Pakistan. They are very extraordinary men, and continuously thank me for saving 30 to 50 million lives in what would have been a horrendous War with India. I always appreciate hearing that \u2014 The amount of Humanity spoken of is incomprehensible.<\/p>\n<p>The meeting with Iran began early in the morning, and lasted throughout the night \u2014 Close to 20 hours. I could go into great detail, and talk about much that has been gotten but, there is only one thing that matters \u2014 IRAN IS UNWILLING TO GIVE UP ITS NUCLEAR AMBITIONS! In many ways, the points that were agreed to are better than us continuing our Military Operations to conclusion, but all of those points don\u2019t matter compared to allowing Nuclear Power to be in the hands of such volatile, difficult, unpredictable people. My three Representatives, as all of this time went by, became, not surprisingly, very friendly and respectful of Iran\u2019s Representatives, Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, Abbas Araghchi, and Ali Bagheri, but that doesn\u2019t matter because they were very unyielding as to the single most important issue and, as I have always said, right from the beginning, and many years ago, IRAN WILL NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Donald Trump<\/strong> has turned on some of his loudest supporters in the press <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justjared.com\/2026\/04\/09\/trump-turns-on-longtime-allies-blasts-them-as-losers-just-trying-to-latch-on-to-maga-amid-criticism-of-iran-war\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">as they speak out against his war in Iran.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = \"\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v3.2&appId=145071315902360\"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.justjared.com\/2026\/04\/12\/donald-trump-iran-talks-collapse-naval-blockade-statement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Trump is speaking out and announcing a naval blockade.
