The diplomatic setback unfolds alongside military pressure and maritime disruption affecting global energy flows.

The White House said the move intends to mitigate short-term disruptions to energy markets amid the Iran war.

‘This time, the attack will be different and deadlier, and will add devastating blows in the places that hurt most,’ Israel’s defense minister said.

The interdiction comes amid a broader push by the United States to choke off Iran’s oil trade and shipments of items that help Tehran wage war.

The measure now heads to the House, advancing Republican efforts to fund immigration enforcement despite opposition from Democrats.

Shipping came under Iranian fire in the Strait of Hormuz region after the United States prolonged a truce while maintaining maritime pressure on Tehran.

U.S. negotiators are heading to Pakistan for peace talks, but Iran is suggesting it might not send a delegation, accusing Washington of bad-faith diplomacy.

The declaration reimposing ’strict' control over the key maritime chokepoint came as Iranian gunboats fired on a tanker that tried to sail through.

Trump thanked Iran for the move but said the U.S. naval blockade of Iranian shipping would remain in force until Tehran agrees to a deal.

The Pentagon said Iran-linked and sanctioned vessels may be intercepted globally under expanded enforcement.
