Trump has again lashed out at NATO allies after the announcement that the Strait of Hormuz would be reopened.

Iran has opened the Strait of Hormuz to all commercial vessels, its foreign minister has announced.

Turkey is hosting a high-stakes forum today, bringing together the foreign ministers of Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Egypt.

China has told Iran that it must reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

A senior Iranian official warned that U.S. warships in the Strait of Hormuz are within striking range, claiming American naval forces are now “under our missile launchers.”

The Trump administration is ramping up pressure on Iran’s oil network, sanctioning more than two dozen individuals, companies and vessels tied to a powerful shipping empire linked to regime insiders.

The U.S. military says it has successfully blocked 9 oil tankers heading to or from Iranian ports as part of President Donald Trump's blockade against Tehran.

Iran has threatened to block key global shipping routes, including the Red Sea, if the US naval blockade on its ports continues.

Trump said the war with Iran was “close to over” as he hinted at a resumption of talks with Iran.

Trump has said he believes NATO “won’t be there” for the US in future.

An adventure that could not end another way as it ended today, early in the morning, in the Pakistani capital.

Red Sea supplies are also at risk now the Houthis have joined the Gulf war.

Trump has squandered US strategic credibility and the Taiwanese can see the writing on the wall
