Tehran warns it will continue to block strait as long as Trump blockades Iran-linked shipping; US president says blockade ‘in full force’ until regime reaches a deal, including on its nuclear program

Iran swiftly reversed course on reopening the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday, reimposing restrictions on the critical waterway after the US said it would not end its blockade of Iran-linked shipping.

Iran’s announcement came after Trump said Friday that even though Tehran announced the strait’s reopening, the American blockade “will remain in full force” until Tehran reaches a deal with the US, including on its nuclear program.
