US Considers Reimposing Blockade of Strait of Hormuz, Trump Says

President Trump announced that the US is weighing a renewed blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and suggested potential military action against Iran's water desalination plants.

President Trump said the US is considering reimposing a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments. He also remarked that he would "hate" to target Iran's water desalination plants but "may have to."

The comments signal a sharp escalation in US-Iran tensions and raise the risk of supply disruptions in the Persian Gulf. The Strait of Hormuz handles about one-fifth of global oil transit, making any blockade a major geopolitical flashpoint.
