Is the war over? Trump says ‘it is close…’ - even as Iranian ports stay blocked and Strait of Hormuz remains closed
Mint·2h ago·Neutral
What Happened
President Trump stated the war with Iran is close to ending, yet military operations continue. The US Navy enforces a blockade of Iranian ports, with six merchant vessels turned back in the first 24 hours. One tanker reversed course and transited the Strait of Hormuz. Diplomatic talks may resume within two days in Pakistan or Europe. The US Treasury ended authorization for Iranian oil sales and warned financial institutions in China, Hong Kong, UAE, and Oman about sanctions risks.
