Trump orders a blockade in the Strait of Hormuz as tensions with Iran soar

April 12, 2026 11:24am EDT / Fox News

Trump warns any Iranian who fires at U.S. forces ‘will be BLOWN TO HELL’ as mine-clearing operations begin

By Amanda Macias, Fox News

Shervin Pishevar, advisor to HRH Reza Pahlavi, analyzes President Trump’s ultimatum to Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Pishevar praises Trump’s “doctrine of preemption,” arguing decisive action today prevents future threats from Iran’s developing nuclear, drone, and ICBM programs. He criticizes past US administrations for “Chamberlaining” the Iranian regime.

President Donald Trump said the U.S. Navy will begin a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and interdict vessels that have paid a toll to Iran, after U.S. peace talks with Tehran ended in a stalemate.

“Effective immediately, the United States Navy, the Finest in the World, will begin the process of BLOCKADING any and all ships trying to enter or leave the Strait of Hormuz,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “At some point, we will reach an ‘ALL BEING ALLOWED TO GO IN, ALL BEING ALLOWED TO GO OUT’ basis, but Iran has not allowed that to happen… THIS IS WORLD EXTORTION.”

He said the U.S. would deny safe passage to vessels that paid the toll and begin clearing mines.

“I have also instructed our Navy to seek and interdict every vessel in international waters that has paid a toll to Iran,” he wrote. “No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage… We will also begin destroying the mines… Any Iranian who fires at us… will be BLOWN TO HELL!”

WHY THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ MATTERS AS TRUMP ISSUES FRESH ULTIMATUM TO IRAN

Iran’s closure of the strait has triggered global economic turmoil, and reopening it was a key condition in U.S. efforts to reach a deal.

In a second post, Trump reiterated the demand: “They better begin… getting this INTERNATIONAL WATERWAY OPEN AND FAST!”

Trump’s warning raises the stakes in the narrow but vital waterway, a critical artery for global energy supplies.

The strait, which lies between Iran, Oman and the United Arab Emirates, is one of the world’s most critical energy choke points, carrying roughly 20 million barrels of oil a day along with about one-fifth of global liquefied natural gas.

The strait is also a vital artery for refined fuels, including products like jet fuel.

The latest threat builds on a pattern of deadlines Trump has imposed on Tehran over the strait. Here is a timeline of those demands:

March 21

In a Truth Social post, Trump declared that if Iran did not “FULLY OPEN” the strait within 48 hours, the United States would “obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST!”

Ali Mousavi, Iran’s permanent representative to the International Maritime Organization, responded by saying that the Strait of Hormuz was “open to everyone” except Tehran’s enemies.Meanwhile, other Iranian officials warned that attacks on energy infrastructure would amount to an attack on the Iranian people and would be met with retaliation.

March 23

Two days later, Trump wrote in a Truth Social post that the U.S. had had “productive” conversations with Iran and that he had ordered the Pentagon to delay any strikes on Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for five days.

Iranian officials publicly denied that any talks were taking place.

March 26

Trump again extended his deadline — this time by 10 days, to April 6 at 8 p.m. Eastern — saying in a social media post that he was “pausing the period of Energy Plant destruction” at the Iranian government’s request.

Trump wrote in a Truth Social post that “great progress” had been made in negotiations to end the conflict. At the same time, he warned that if a deal was not reached and the Strait of Hormuz was not “immediately” opened, the United States would destroy Iran’s power plants, oil wells, Kharg Island — the country’s main oil export hub — and “possibly all” desalination plants.

April 1

Trump said Iran requested a ceasefire, a claim Iran’s foreign ministry spokesperson called “false and baseless,” according to the state news agency IRIB.

In a social media post, Trump said the United States would consider a ceasefire only once the strait was “open, free and clear,” adding: “Until then, we are blasting Iran into oblivion or, as they say, back to the Stone Ages!!!”

WHERE GAS PRICES ARE RISING FASTEST AS TRUMP ISSUES FRESH WARNING TO IRAN

April 4

Trump warned in a Truth Social post that “time is running out — 48 hours before all Hell will reign down on them.”

The post followed several conflicting statements in previous days, in which he alternately criticized allies for not acting to reopen the strait and suggested it would reopen on its own.

April 5

In a profanity-laced post on Truth Social on Sunday, Trump wrote: “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran.

“There will be nothing like it!!! Open the F—–’ Strait, you crazy b——-, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah.”

“Tuesday, 8:00 P.M. Eastern Time!” he wrote in a second post.

April 7

Two days later, Trump issued a fresh ultimatum to Iran, demanding that it allow all vessels to transit the Strait of Hormuz or face strikes on critical infrastructure. The warning came after weeks of escalating threats and missed deadlines.

“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post. “We will find out tonight — one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the world,” he added, referencing his 8 p.m. ET deadline for Iran to agree to a ceasefire and reopen the strait.

A ceasefire was called a few hours before the 8 p.m. deadline.

看中反应敏捷 美民航局招揽电玩高手填补空管缺口

2026年4月12日 22:25 / 联合早报

根据美国政府发布的报告，由于冠病疫情、政府停摆等因素，过去10年美航空管制员人数减少了约6%。 （法新社）

面对长期的人手短缺及设备老化问题，美国联邦航空管理局（FAA）将目光投向了“电玩世代”，希望通过招募具备快速反应和多任务处理能力的电玩高手，填补数以千计的航空管制员职位。

美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）报道，美国运输部和联邦航空管理局宣布，将从4月17日起开放新一轮招聘。目前全美虽有1万1000名在职管制员和4000名受训人员，但距离满员仍有数千人的缺口。

美国运输部长达菲指出，为了接触下一代人才，政府必须做出改变。“这次招募活动聚焦电玩玩家，是看中了这群年轻人所具备的‘硬技能’，这些技能是成为一名成功管制员的关键。”

在名为“职业升级”的招聘网站上，当局将任职要求比作“任务需求”，并列出了极具吸引力的“高分奖励”：除了有薪培训和政府福利外，入职三年的管制员平均年薪可超过15万5000美元（约20万新元）。

据美国政府问责局（GAO）报告，由于冠病疫情、政府停摆等因素，过去10年美国航空管制员人数减少了约6%。

当局认为，电玩玩家具备思维敏捷、注意力集中及管理复杂情境等认知优势。数据显示，约65%的美国人经常玩电玩，而管制员岗位并不强制要求大学学位，仅约25%的现任管制员持有学位。

Hungarians vote in key election that could unseat populist and MAGA darling Prime Minister Viktor Orbán

April 12, 2026 / 8:51 AM EDT / CBS/AP

Hungarians are casting ballots Sunday in what is widely seen as Europe’s most consequential election this year, a vote that could unseat the European Union’s longest-serving leader and one of its biggest antagonists.

It is a key moment for populist Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, an ally of President Trump, who has traveled a long road from his early days as a liberal, anti-Soviet firebrand to a Russian-friendly nationalist admired today by the global far-right.

Polls opened at 6 a.m. and were scheduled to close at 7 p.m. Orbán and his top challenger, Péter Magyar, arrived at separate polling stations in Budapest at nearly the same time to cast their votes.

Speaking to reporters outside, Orbán, 62, said the campaign had been “a great national moment on our side” and thanked activists and supporters for their work. “I’m here to win,” he said.

Independent watchdogs and European Union officials have accused Orbán’s government of launching a sustained assault on the country’s democratic institutions and rule of law since. In the 16 years since he took office in 2010, the country has descended to the rank of the most corrupt country in the European Union, according to the U.K.-based anti-corruption group Transparency International.

After casting his vote on Sunday, Magyar told reporters that the election was “a choice between East or West, propaganda or honest public discourse, corruption or clean public life.”

“I urge all Hungarian citizens to exercise their right to vote,” he said.

Casting his ballot in Budapest on Sunday, Marcell Mehringer, 21, said he was voting “primarily so that Hungary will finally be a so-called European country, and so that young people, and really everyone, will do their fundamental civic duty to unite this nation a bit and to break down these boundaries borne of hatred.”

Orbán has been one of Mr. Trump’s closest global allies since the U.S. president was first elected in 2016. The relationship has deepened between the two men over the past decade. The partnership between the Trump administration and Orbán was on full display when Vice President JD Vance publicly campaigned alongside the Hungarian leader in Budapest last week.

Turnout after the first five hours of voting was 54.14%, according to the National Election Office. That is a record in Hungary’s post-communist history, with around 997,000 more voters having cast their ballot by 11 a.m. than during the 2022 elections.

（伊斯兰堡综合电）美国和伊朗在伊斯兰堡举行的谈判无果而终，分析认为，伊朗显然不急于做出让步，因为它比美国手握更多筹码。美国总统特朗普现在面临严峻选择：升级冲突还是继续谈判。

经过21小时马拉松谈判，美国副总统万斯星期天（4月12日）宣布美伊未能达成协议，他指伊朗选择不接受美国的条件，包括承诺不发展核武器。伊朗官方媒体则说，谈判失败是因为美国提出“不合理的要求”。

《纽约时报》分析，这次谈判清楚表明，美伊双方都认为自己是第一轮的赢家：美国靠对伊朗投放大量弹药取胜，伊朗则凭生存下来获胜。双方似乎都没有妥协的意愿。

英国广播公司（BBC）指出，美伊未能达成协议并不令人意外，因为美国代表团抵达巴基斯坦时认为，伊朗在战争中遭受惨重的损失，因此有可能迅速达成妥协。但伊朗参与谈判时认为自己占据优势，尽管军事能力遭受重创，但仍有能力且愿意继续战斗，最重要的是，它还控制着具有战略意义的霍尔木兹海峡。

美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）也认为，双方的立场差异实在太大，不仅体现在实质内容上，也体现在风格和态度上。美国似乎希望尽快找到解决方案，而德黑兰则更为谨慎，倾向于进行长期谈判。

前美国国务院中东谈判代表米勒（Aaron David Miller）告诉CNN：“伊朗显然不急于做出让步。在我看来，他们仍然拥有高浓缩铀；证明自己能够利用地理优势，控制并管理着霍尔木兹海峡；伊朗政权依然屹立不倒，他们展现出破坏安全与稳定的可怕能力。所有这些都是他们的筹码。”

纽时：特朗普最大筹码是威胁恢复战斗

纽时说，谈判失败使特朗普政府面临棘手选项：就伊核计划的未来，与德黑兰进行漫长谈判，或者重启这场已经造成现代史上最大能源中断的战争，以及就霍尔木兹海峡的控制权展开旷日持久的争夺。

白宫官员说，他们将听从总统的指示，由他来宣布政府的下一步行动。

纽时说，特朗普目前最大的筹码在于他能够威胁恢复大规模作战行动，但这对特朗普来说并非特别可行的政治选择，伊朗也心知肚明。

特朗普周二（7日）宣布停火，主要目的是为了缓解全球石油供应减少20%所带来的冲击。石油供应减少导致汽油价格飙升，并造成化肥和其他关键物资短缺。如果战火重燃，物资短缺将加剧，物价也几乎不可避免地会进一步上升。

至于霍尔木兹海峡，英广说，通过谈判重新开放似乎不可能。两艘美国军舰出现在波斯湾表明，美国正在考虑其他途径。

美国把伊朗未能承诺永不拥有核武器视为症结所在。英广指出，伊朗一直否认想要拥有终极威慑力量，但一年内发生两次战争，无疑会助长那些呼吁发展核武器的人的气焰。

分析：伊朗准备好打持久战

另据新加坡《海峡时报》星期天引述分析员和官员说，如果和平谈判破裂、冲突再起，伊朗已做好准备打一场旷日持久的战争。

常驻德黑兰的地缘政治分析师兼战略师阿里·艾哈迈迪曾担任伊朗外交部顾问。他说：“伊朗建立了非常庞大的工业基地，专门用于持续生产作战所需的军事装备。伊朗担心不是战争旷日持久，而是战争结束六个月后，美国重新调整策略，制定新的军事战略，战争又会再次爆发。”

报道也引述一名常驻德黑兰的国际官员说，他从伊朗内部消息人士处获悉，伊朗已做好应对冲突至少持续到9月的准备。“伊朗物资供应充足，没有任何短缺。伊朗已做好长期战争的准备。它预料到这种情况，并已储备足够民众食用长达六个月的粮食。”

Few see U.S. goals being met in Iran yet; Americans voice worry and stress in CBS News poll

April 12, 2026 / 9:01 AM EDT / CBS News

Amid talks and a ceasefire, the Iran war looks like unfinished business to many Americans.

That’s because there are things they call important for the U.S. to do — including opening the Strait of Hormuz for oil access, ensuring the Iranian people are free and permanently stopping Iran’s nuclear programs — that they don’t feel have been done yet.

So, in describing their feelings about the conflict of late, Americans pick worry, stress and anger far more than feeling safe or confident.

Big and bipartisan majorities feel it’s important for the U.S. to do these things:

But huge majorities say either that they aren’t done, or it’s too soon to know, including for some of those top items.

Amid talks, a majority also expresses what they don’t want to happen — that it would be unacceptable to leave the current Iranian regime in place — and also unacceptable to allow a nuclear program under international supervision.

In summary, most Americans continue to say the conflict is not going well. That view hasn’t improved in recent weeks.

And in a similar vein, if it were to end now, relatively few call the war a success so far, either in terms of military objectives or U.S. strategic interests. For many, it’s too soon to say — another indication that they aren’t seeing the goals met yet.

President Trump

And there’s uncertainty in part because most don’t think President Trump has a clear plan for it all.

That said, most Republicans think he does, and most continue to have confidence in his decisions on Iran.

Views on this are highly partisan, but also related to whether people think the administration has explained the goals or not — which most still don’t think has happened.

Among those who don’t feel it’s clear, most think the lack of clarity comes from changing the list of goals.

When presented with the president’s full statement, a big majority of Americans said they’d already seen or read at least something about Mr. Trump’s recent Truth Social post that mentioned Iran’s civilization as his deadline approached. Most said they disliked it, at least somewhat. Non-MAGA Republicans disliked it more than liked it, too.

It gets relatively more favor — though hardly widespread — from MAGA Republicans. They tend to say Mr. Trump’s posts involve negotiating strategy at least as much as any actual intentions. Relatively fewer MAGA Republicans say they solely reflect what the president really intended to do.

Trump’s job ratings

Gas prices loom over Americans’ views of the economy, Mr. Trump’s handling of it, and Iran as well.

Start with Iran: Mr. Trump’s approval on it has ticked a bit lower now. Young Americans are the age group giving him the lowest marks on Iran.

He does still get strong ratings on Iran from Republicans. (Though not his strongest within the party — that issue is still immigration.)

Americans continue to note higher gas prices. Ratings of thenation’s economy remain low, and when asked what’s most shaping their views on it, gas prices are an even bigger factor than earlier this year.

That’s led to Mr. Trump’s approval numbers for the economy and inflation, as well as his overall job approval, ticking down slightly; they have been negative for months and are now at the lowest levels of this term.

That includes a slight drop among Republicans for his handling of inflation, specifically. For context, among Republicans, that approval is 20 points lower than how they rate him on immigration.

People for whom gas prices are a financial difficulty are especially negative about the president’s handling of inflation and the economy.

Regarding the war, Republicans do voice feelings like confident and proud, in contrast to those other more negative feelings — like worried and angry — expressed by Democrats and independents.

Congress

Looking ahead, as Congress returns, most Democrats and independents want Congress to take a vote against authorizing any further military action in Iran.

Republicans, who widely approve of the war, would prefer either to see an outright authorization vote on the war, or to simply leave decisions to Mr. Trump.

美国总统特朗普星期六（4月11日）抵达迈阿密国际机场握拳致意。 （法新社）

美国总统特朗普在社交媒体发文通报美伊会谈进展，指谈判总体顺利并已在多数议题达成共识，但在核心的核课题上仍未取得突破。为此，他已下令美国海军即日起对霍尔木兹海峡实施封锁，严禁船只进出或向伊朗缴纳通行费。

特朗普星期天（4月12日）社交媒体发文称：“即日起，美国海军——世界上最强大的海军——将开始对所有试图进出霍尔木兹海峡的船只实施封锁。”

“未来某个阶段，我们将恢复所有船只都可以自由通行的状态，但伊朗却以‘某处可能存在水雷’为由阻止通行，而这些水雷只有他们自己知道是否存在。”

特朗普还称：“我已指示海军，在国际水域拦截所有向伊朗缴纳通行费的船只。任何支付非法通行费的船只，都不会在公海获得安全通行。”

在帖文末尾，特朗普威胁称，美军已在适当时机“全面准备就绪”，将针对伊朗剩余的目标完成“最后的军事行动”。
