The U.S. Military says it will begin blockading all Iranian ports and coastal areas starting Monday morning, after ceasefire talks with Tehran collapsed over the weekend and President Donald Trump announced he would be sending the U.S navy to the Strait of Hormuz.
U.S. Central Command says the blockade will be "enforced impartially against vessels of all nations" entering or leaving Iranian ports, though ships travelling between non-Iranian ports will still be allowed through the Strait of Hormuz.
The move is a step down from the president's earlier threat to blockade the entire strait and is set to begin on Monday at 10 a.m. ET, or 5:30 p.m. In Iran time.
The announcement of the blockade halted the limited ship traffic that resumed in the strait since the ceasefire, according to an early report from Lloyd's List intelligence. Marine trackers say over 40 commercial ships have crossed since a shaky ceasefire began earlier this month, down from roughly 100 to 135 vessel passages per day before the war.
