JAKARTA - US President Donald Trump on Monday threatened to destroy Iranian ships if they approached the US-imposed blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
On Sunday, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said it would begin blocking the maritime route on Monday at 14:00 local time, carrying out Trump's instructions, after negotiations between Washington and Tehran failed.
US President Donald Trump then warned that Iranian ships would be eliminated if they approached the US-blocked area in the Strait of Hormuz.
"Warning: If any [Iranian] ships approach our BLOCKADE, they will be IMMEDIATELY ELIMINATED, using the same killing system we use against drug dealers on ships at sea," Trump wrote on Truth Social, as quoted by Sputnik, Monday, April 13.
Earlier on Saturday, Iran and the US began talks in Islamabad after US President Donald Trump announced on April 8 that he had reached an agreement with Tehran on a two-week ceasefire.
On Sunday morning, US Vice President JD Vance, who led the US delegation, announced that Iran and the US failed to reach an agreement, and the US delegation returned to their country without producing an agreement.
