Middle East conflict live updates: Trump orders US Navy to block Hormuz Strait after Iran talks fail

Trump has ordered the US Navy to block the crucial Strait of Hormuz shipping lane. Talks between the United States and Iran ended without a deal after marathon negotiations lasted more than 20 hours. US Vice-President JD Vance said he gave Tehran the “final and best offer”. Trump said it “makes no difference” whether the United States and Iran reach a deal in the Pakistan talks, insisting the US had already “won” the war. Iranian media outlet, The Fars, said the United States was making "excessive demands regarding the strait" during talks in Pakistan. US warships entered the Strait of Hormuz to clear the shipping lane of Iranian sea mines. Iran's Revolutionary Guards threatened to deal "severely" with any military vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz, state TV reported. Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the US-Israeli campaign against Iran has “crushed” the country’s nuclear and missile programmes.
