New Delhi, April 13 -- US President Donald Trump is delivering an urgent, unplanned address from the Oval Office on April 13, 2026.

The address follows the enforcement of a US blockade on Iranian ports.

Trump earlier claimed Iran is seeking a deal "very badly" and that he has received outreach regarding a potential agreement.

He warned that Iranian "fast-attack" ships approaching the blockade would be "eliminated."
