President Trump has announced a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz starting at 10 a.m. ET today. Iran called it an act of piracy. It comes after negotiations between the U.S. and Iran in Islamabad, Pakistan, collapsed Sunday without a deal. Vice President JD Vance declared that Iran “chose not to accept our terms.” Iranian state media blamed “excessive demands” from Washington for the talks’ collapse. Meanwhile, President Trump watched a UFC fight in Miami with Secretary of State Marco Rubio during the ceasefire negotiations. This comes as CNN is reporting that China is preparing to deliver new air defense systems to Iran within weeks, following over a month of U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran. This is President Trump speaking to Fox News on Sunday.

President Donald Trump: “We didn’t get there on the important issue. They want to have nuclear weapons. They’re not going to have nuclear weapons. I’ve been saying that for 30 years. I would never allow that to happen before I was in politics. And that country will not have nuclear weapons.”
