US President Donald Trump on Sunday said the Navy would immediately start blockading the Strait of Hormuz, hours after marathon ceasefire talks between the United States and Iran ended without an agreement.
Over the weekend, the world's eyes were on Islamabad for nearly 21 hours as the highest-level talks between Washington and Tehran in 50 years took place.
They involved US Vice President JD Vance, special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, alongside Iranian parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
However, Vance emerged from the talks on Sunday morning with the announcement that he would return to the US without an agreement.
In the afternoon, Trump broke his silence with two posts on his social platform, Truth Social, announcing that the US military is "locked and loaded" to "finish up the little that is left of Iran" at the appropriate moment.
