Iran ports blockade: Vice President JD Vance accused Iran of “economic terrorism” by essentially closing the Strait of Hormuz. He defended the US blockade of Iranian ports, which started over 12 hours ago with President Donald Trump threatening Iranian ships, as an equal response. One ship did cross the strait after Trump’s order, according to reports.
