The US is considering limited military strikes on Iran alongside a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. The blockade will start on Monday and target all maritime traffic entering and exiting Iranian ports. The US Central Command said vessels transiting the Strait to and from non-Iranian ports will not be impeded. The US Navy will also destroy mines dropped by Iran in the Strait. The blockade comes after talks in Islamabad failed to reach a deal, with Iran rejecting US demands on uranium enrichment and funding for certain groups. The situation has sparked fears of a wider regional conflict and caused a surge in crude oil prices.
