The blockade will involve stopping any ships that come out of Iranian ports or Iranian coastal areas. U.S. ships will not be stopping vessels traveling from non-Iranian ports. The early stages of demining the strait has begun, and information about a safe path through the strait will be communicated to commercial mariners. Now, Iran's Revolutionary Guard put out a defiant statement that the Strait of Hormuz is now under their control, and any warship approaching the strait will be seen as a breach of the ceasefire and will be dealt with strongly. President Trump told Maria Bartiromo details of the naval block.
