According to Taiwan Television News, on November 9, U.S. President Trump announced a comprehensive blockade of Iran through naval operations and the newly launched "Iron Gate" action, stating the conflict is nearing its end. Trump emphasized that Iran's military has collapsed and there is no need for new military strikes at present.
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson rejected the blockade, calling it destined to fail. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard struck three oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz on November 8, claiming they were vessels collaborating with U.S. forces.
