US Blocks Strait of Hormuz Until Iran Agrees to Deal Amid Fuel Shortages

The United States says it will not lift the blockade until Iran agrees to a deal. Washington: The Strait of Hormuz is the most important sea route for worldwide fuel supplies. However, this route has been severely affected by the ongoing war between the United States and Iran for the past two months. Shipping has been stopped, and fuel shortages in many countries are making the situation worse. Meanwhile, there are reports that this route may be closed for a long time. This is due to US President Donald Trump's new plan. One report reveals that Trump is planning to use the Strait of Hormuz to deal a permanent blow to Iran. This news is based on a report published in the Wall Street Journal. According to the report, Trump is planning a long blockade of Hormuz. Trump has also instructed his officials to prepare for a "long-term ceasefire." It is reported that Trump has previously considered two other options, either to attack Iran or to end the blockade permanently, so Iran poses significant threats now.
