Overview
- CENTCOM said the U.S. Navy would start enforcing a full blockade at 10 a.m. ET Monday after 21 hours of Islamabad talks ended without a deal.
- Officials told outlets including the Wall Street Journal that Trump is weighing limited strikes on Iran in addition to the blockade, even as aides say he remains open to renewed talks.
- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said JD Vance phoned him after the collapse, and he backed the blockade while stressing close coordination with Washington.
- U.S. negotiators set reported red lines that included ending all uranium enrichment and surrendering stockpiles, while Iranian officials said the team moved the goalposts as a deal neared.
- The Strait of Hormuz carries much of the world’s seaborne oil, so boardings, escorts, or minesweeping tied to the blockade could slow traffic and raise the risk of clashes at sea.
