India, April 13 -- US-Israel-Iran War Latest News: President Donald Trump announced Sunday that the US Navy will begin blockading the Strait of Hormuz, raising the stakes after marathon talks with Iran failed to reach a deal to end the war. The move jeopardizes a fragile two-week ceasefire that had raised hopes of a diplomatic resolution.

"No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "Any Iranian who fires at us, or at peaceful vessels, will be BLOWN TO HELL!" The president also said the US would destroy mines that he claimed Iran had dropped in the strait, a choke point for about 20% of global energy supplies.
