Vice President J.D. Vance's negotiations with Iranian leaders in Pakistan have stalled over nuclear terms, leading President Trump to order a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz amid a fragile two-week ceasefire.
Internet Archive’s transcript reports Trump ordered a naval blockade after talks with Iran failed to produce a deal, while BBC News explains how a blockade could work and its role in pressuring Tehran toward a new deal. The Sunday Guardian also covers the blockade, pairing it with Trump’s warning that gas prices may remain high through the midterms.
