US President Donald Trump said Iran is “in very bad shape” as he spoke to reporters on Sunday. "I think Iran is in very bad shape. I think they're very desperate,” Trump said. “We had a meeting that lasted 21 hours. We understand the situation better than anybody. And Iran's in very bad shape." Trump indicated that the ceasefire with Iran was "holding well" and that the U.S. Navy would commence a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz from 10 a.m. local time (1400 GMT) on Monday, 13 April. Following Trump’s remarks, an Iranian Armed Forces spokesperson said that US restrictions on vessels in international waters was illegal and "amounts to piracy", and said Iran would decisively implement a "permanent mechanism" to control the Strait of Hormuz. #blockade #US #trump #hormuz #straitofhormuz #iran #middleeast #gulf #uspolitics
