The United States has begun a blockade of Iranian ports, raising tensions in the region. President Donald Trump said Iran wants a deal “very badly” but warned of strict action. He said any Iranian boats nearing the blockade would be stopped. Iran’s leaders said they will not give in to threats. The move comes after peace talks failed over nuclear demands. The UK Maritime Trade Operations warned ships of military checks in the area. The situation remains tense, with no clear signs of talks restarting soon between both sides.
