US Iran War BREAKING: Iran OPENS Hormuz BUT U.S Naval Blockade STILL ON! Iran SLAMS U.S Betrayal

US Iran War BREAKING: Iran OPENS Hormuz BUT U.S Naval Blockade STILL ON! Iran SLAMS U.S Betrayal

The Strait of Hormuz is open again. Tankers are moving, trade routes are flowing, and one of the world’s most dangerous chokepoints is suddenly less tense. But behind the headlines… the confrontation is far from over. Because even as Iran announced the full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz for commercial shipping, Donald Trump made a very different announcement of his own. The U.S. naval blockade targeting Iranian vessels and ports is still in full force. No easing. No rollback. No compromise yet. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said the Strait is now “completely open and ready for business and full passage,” confirming Iran’s announcement had taken effect. But he quickly added a major condition—The blockade against Iran will remain active “until our transaction with Iran is 100% complete.”
