President Trump will deliver a nationwide address at 9:00 p.m. ET Thursday (9:00 a.m. Beijing Friday).

The US Navy-run Joint Maritime Information Center said on July 13 the US will begin enforcing a maritime blockade of all Iranian ports and coastal areas from 20:00 GMT on July 14 (04:00 Beijing July 15). The blockade applies to all vessels regardless of flag and covers Iran's entire coastline, including ports and oil terminals. Neutral ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz to or from non-Iran destinations will not be impeded. Humanitarian shipments will be permitted but subject to inspection.
