Iran Says It Has Closed the Strait of Hormuz Again

Iran's military announced Saturday that it was closing the Strait of Hormuz, citing a continued American blockade, leaving the status of access to a vital waterway unclear a day after President Donald Trump and the country declared it open. Two ships reported attacks while attempting to cross the strait, underscoring the fragility of the ceasefire amid diplomatic efforts to end the war.

Trump told reporters Saturday that the United States remained engaged in "very good conversations" with Iran and acknowledged that Tehran "wanted to close up the strait again."

"They can't blackmail us," Trump said of Iran, adding that he would have more information on the talks with Tehran "by end of day."
