Iran threatens to block ships in Strait of Hormuz over Trump's plan to use frozen assets for compensation payments
Iran threatened to block ships in the Strait of Hormuz after U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans to use Iranian frozen assets for compensation payments related to maritime damages. Iran's military stated that any support for this plan could result in restrictions on maritime access, asserting that the U.S. move is unlawful and constitutes an 'imposed war.' The situation escalates tensions in the region, with Iran vowing to prevent any vessels from passing through the strategic waterway.
