US President Donald Trump has issued a strongly worded statement accusing Iran of violating a ceasefire agreement by opening fire in the Strait of Hormuz, while confirming that American representatives are en route to Islamabad for fresh negotiations with Tehran.
In remarks posted on Truth Social, Trump claimed Iranian forces fired multiple rounds in the vital shipping corridor, describing the move as a “total violation” of agreed terms. According to his statement, some of the reported fire was directed towards a French vessel and a British freighter, raising concerns over maritime security in one of the world’s most critical energy routes.
The US president also reiterated that Washington had already imposed a blockade in the region, asserting that Iran’s own actions were effectively reinforcing restrictions on the passage.
