US suspends Strait of Hormuz guidance amid stalled Iran ceasefire talks and vessel issues
The US has paused its efforts to guide stranded vessels through the Strait of Hormuz amid a test of a ceasefire agreement with Iran, according to President Donald Trump.
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday evening that he is pausing the U.S. effort to guide stranded vessels out of the Strait of Hormuz to finalize an Iran deal, testing a ceasefire agreement between Washington and Tehran in the sensitive region. The decision comes amid rising tensions between the two countries after a U.S. Navy destroyer was transferred to Iranian custody last week. Trump's move appears aimed at ensuring that Iran does not take advantage of the lull in violence.
