Trump uses ceasefire agreement to blockade the Strait of Hormuz, causing Iran an estimated daily economic loss of about $435 million

Odaily News: Trump reposted a Washington Post article, indicating that during a meeting with Iranian officials in Islamabad, the United States has ordered destroyers to the Persian Gulf to impose a military blockade on all traffic entering and leaving Iranian ports. This action aims to cut off Iran's oil exports and energy revenue. According to analysis by Miad Maleki, a former official of the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control, this move will cause Iran an estimated daily economic loss of about $435 million. Currently, the U.S. Navy is using the ceasefire period to clear mines laid by Iran, establishing safe passage for international escort missions. If Iran refuses to open the strait to all vessels, the United States will enforce passage through military force and prohibit Iranian-flagged ships from passing. Reports from the U.S. Central Command show that in prior military operations, the United States and Israel have destroyed 80% of Iran's air defense systems, 90% of its naval power, and 80% of its nuclear industry facilities.
