President Donald Trump says the U.S. Navy will immediately begin a blockade of ships entering or leaving the Strait of Hormuz. He spoke after historic U.S.

The president added that he has “instructed our Navy to seek and interdict every vessel in International Waters that has paid a toll to Iran. No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas.”

    Trump also said the U.S. was ready to “finish up” Iran at the “appropriate moment,” stressing that Tehran’s nuclear ambitions were at the core of the failure to end the war.

      There were 251 days between Operation Midnight Hammer (June 22, 2025) and the start of Operation Epic Fury (February 28, 2026). Operation Epic Fury concluded with a ceasefire on April 8, 2026, just five days ago.

      251 days after February 28th, 2026, is November 6th, 2026, so mark it in the calendar I guess.
