A new naval blockade by the United States against Iran took effect on July 12, 2026, at 11:00 PM Greek time. This blockade targets the Strait of Hormuz and is part of the U.S. government's response to escalating tensions with Tehran. The announcement of the blockade aligns with a series of military actions by the U.S. aimed at increasing pressure on Iran, as noted by several sources.

In response to the blockade, Iranian officials, including spokesperson Behzad Pezeshkian, emphasized their commitment to national defense, stating, "We will defend our homeland." This development follows declarations from U.S. President Donald Trump, who previously indicated that the sanctions and military measures would be intensified against Iran, with discussions regarding the terms of a potential agreement having collapsed. The U.S. administration has indicated the blockade will remain in effect as part of broader strategic measures against Iranian military capabilities.
