Snippet:
US President Donald Trump has decided to impose a blockade related to the Strait of Hormuz. On April 13, he confirmed that the US would target ships “entering or exiting Iranian ports.” This appeared slightly different from his April 12 pledge to block all vessels entering or leaving the Strait of Hormuz itself.
