Donald Trump posted a message attacking Iran for not abandoning its nuclear ambitions and ordered the U.S. military to intercept every ship that pays Iran to transit the Strait of Hormuz.
On 12 Apr 2026 GMT+7, Donald Trump, President of the United States, posted a lengthy message on Truth Social condemning Iran for refusing to give up its nuclear efforts, which led to the failure of negotiations between the two sides in Pakistan without any agreement to end the war. He also ordered the U.S. military to blockade every ship attempting to enter or leave the Strait of Hormuz that pays Iran.
"As you can see, the meeting went well, most agreements were approved, but the one truly important issue—the nuclear matter—did not. The U.S. Navy, the best in the world, will begin the process of blockading every ship trying to enter or leave the Strait of Hormuz, effective immediately," Trump's message stated.
"At some point, we will reach the stage of ‘allowing everyone to enter and allowing everyone to exit,’ but Iran is not permitting that simply because of talk that ‘there might be mines somewhere,’ which no one knows except them. This is global extortion, and world leaders, especially the United States, will never tolerate being extorted."
"I have also ordered our Navy to search for and intercept every ship in international waters that has paid passage fees to Iran. Anyone who pays these illegal tolls will never safely pass through international waters. Furthermore, we will begin destroying the mines Iran has laid in the Strait. Any Iranian who fires on us or on peaceful ships will be sent straight to hell!"
"Iran knows better than anyone how to end this situation, which has already devastated their country. Their navy has been destroyed, their air force ruined, air defense systems and radars are useless, Khamenei and most of their 'leaders' are dead—all due to their own nuclear ambitions."
"The blockade will begin soon. Other countries will join this blockade. Iran will not be allowed to profit from this illegal extortion. They want money, and more importantly, they want nuclear weapons. Also, when the time is right, we will be 'fully ready' and our military will finish off the remaining parts of Iran!" "fully ready "
