President Trump ordered a US naval blockade of Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz on April 13, 2026, following collapsed nuclear talks, aiming to curb Tehran's oil exports and pressure for concessions. Iran declared the strait open to non-Iranian traffic on April 17, but the US measure persists, targeting only Iranian vessels, with Trump vowing no lift until a satisfactory nuclear deal. Iran's April 27 proposal to fully reopen the strait in exchange for ending the blockade was dismissed by the White House as inadequate. Rising oil prices and congressional hearings on Defense Secretary testimony underscore economic strain, while traders eye upcoming diplomacy, potential Iranian retaliation, or escalation signals as key catalysts for any announcement.
