The blockade order has been implemented, and the strait is in urgent need! The US Iran negotiations are still in a stalemate According to BlockBeats, on April 14th, the US maritime blockade against Iran officially came into effect last night local time. More than 15 warships have been deployed, and the US military has simultaneously begun intercepting ships entering and leaving the Strait of Hormuz. Trump claimed that 158 Iranian Navy ships have been destroyed and warned that any "fast attack boats" approaching the blockade zone will be immediately eliminated. At the same time, shipping data shows that oil tankers have extensively circumnavigated the Strait of Hormuz, causing further disruptions in strait traffic. The International Energy Agency has confirmed that the Iran conflict has caused damage to over 80 oil and gas facilities. Iran has responded strongly. The acting defense chief announced that the armed forces have entered the highest level of alert, and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps stated that if the conflict continues, new combat methods will be employed. The Iranian military has declared that it will implement a permanent mechanism to control the Strait of Hormuz and has issued a warning that if the security of ports in the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea is threatened, the security of all ports in the region will either belong to everyone or not belong to anyone. The spokesperson of Iran's Supreme National Security Council dismissed Trump's blockade threat as a "bluff". Diplomatic mediation is being carried out simultaneously. US and Iranian officials have confirmed that negotiations are still ongoing, with a focus on the suspension period for uranium enrichment - the US demands 20 years, while Iran hopes for a shorter period. Russian media revealed that the next round of talks may be held in Islamabad, Pakistan on the 16th, and the Pakistani Defense Minister also stated that the prospect of restarting negotiations still exists. Iranian Foreign Minister Alaghi has had a conversation with Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov to coordinate the latest situation. It is worth noting that the Iranian Deputy Speaker revealed that Iran had prepared to dilute 450 kilograms of enriched uranium as a goodwill gesture. In the direction of Lebanon, Israel continues to carry out airstrikes in southern Lebanon, resulting in at least 7 deaths. The Israeli military has also announced an expansion of military operations, killing over a hundred Hezbollah militants, and seeking to establish a deeper security buffer zone. The Prime Minister stated that the ceasefire with Iran "may end soon" and publicly supported Trump's blockade stance. The leader of Hezbollah declared that they would not surrender their weapons and would continue to resist. The Lebanese Foreign Minister stated that direct negotiations between Lebanon and Israel have confirmed that the Lebanese issue and the Iranian issue are independent of each other and are advancing in parallel.
