The message, shared by the White House via X on Monday, April 13, disclosed that the action is scheduled to begin at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time.

In the brief but striking statement, Trump said,

“The United States to Blockade Ships Entering or Exiting Iranian Ports on April 13 at 10:00 A.M. ET.” He ended the message with, “Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

While the announcement did not provide further details, such a move could significantly affect maritime activities around Iran and cause fresh tensions in the region.

As of now, there has been no immediate response from Iranian authorities, and it remains unclear how the situation will unfold in the coming hours.
