Trump retweeted a Washington Post article stating that during a meeting with Iranian officials in Islamabad, the US ordered destroyers to the Persian Gulf to impose a military blockade on all traffic entering and leaving Iranian ports. This action aims to cut off Iran's oil exports and energy revenues. According to Miad Maleki, a former official at the US Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control, this will cause Iran approximately $435 million in economic losses daily. Currently, the US Navy is using the ceasefire period to clear Iranian-laid mines and establish safe passage for international escort missions. If Iran refuses to open the straits to all ships, the US will use military force to force passage and prohibit Iranian-flagged vessels from passing. A US Central Command report indicates that in the initial military operations, the US and Israel have destroyed 80% of Iran's air defense systems, 90% of its naval forces, and 80% of its nuclear industrial base.
