Trump Orders Naval Blockade of Iranian Ports During Active Ceasefire, Oil Surges Past $100
Trump ordered a naval blockade hours after Vance left Islamabad empty-handed, and CENTCOM quietly narrowed it from the entire Strait to Iranian ports only.
AP described CENTCOM's scope as 'a step down from the president's earlier threat' but buried the contradiction below the fold.
On X, the narrower CENTCOM wording became the key text, with users treating the statement itself as evidence that Trump's bigger threat had already shrunk.
