Iran threatens Gulf shipping amid US blockade

Iran threatens to disrupt shipping in the Persian Gulf, Sea of Oman and Red Sea as a US Navy blockade on Iranian ports enters its third day. Shipping data shows no vessels with links to Tehran have passed through, with US Central Command confirming nine ships were turned around. President Donald Trump claims to be permanently opening the Strait of Hormuz, while mediators work to bring both sides back to negotiations as a ceasefire deadline approaches.
