Deadline passes for US blockade of Iran ports

The Monday deadline set by U.S. President Donald Trump for a naval blockade of Iranian ports has passed.

Trump announced a blockade of the strategic Strait of Hormuz after weekend peace talks with Tehran ended without an agreement.

The U.S. military announced Sunday it will begin blockading all Iranian Gulf ports on Monday at 1400 GMT, but will allow ships not coming or going to Iran to pass through the strait.
