Trump says US will blockade strait of Hormuz after Iran peace talks fail

This is so fucking juvenile. "You can't block the strait; we will!" Solving, exactly, what economic problem?

I swear, the junta is just day-trading oil via tweet.

Donald Trump has said the US will begin blockading the strait of Hormuz in an attempt to take control of the strategic waterway from Iran in the aftermath of failed peace negotiations between the countries in Pakistan.

The US president also threatened to bomb Iran’s water treatment facilities, power plants and bridges if Tehran did not agree to abandon its nuclear weapons programme, the key sticking point between the two sides.

Trump’s surprise announcement of a blockade came after face-to-face peace negotiations between the US and Iran in Islamabad that lasted 21 hours collapsed on Sunday morning.
