Trump says he’s paused US effort to guide stranded vessels out of Strait of Hormuz

President Trump announced a pause in the U.S. effort to guide vessels out of the Strait of Hormuz, citing requests from Pakistan and progress toward a final agreement with Iran. The U.S. maintains a naval blockade while seeking to reopen the vital waterway, amid recent attacks by Iran. Tensions remain high, with Iran claiming the U.S. effort violates the ceasefire.
