Trump threatens to re-impose naval blockade on Iran

from Newshour · host BBC World Service

President Trump has repeated his intention to re-impose a naval blockade on Iran, as the battle for control of the Strait of Hormuz continues.  Also on the programme, Spain’s Supreme Court has ruled that those with a particularly close connection to the person wanting to die may have the right to contest that death wish; and one of the world's most important political cartoonists, Pat Oliphant, has died.(Photo: US President Donald Trump meets with Iraqi PM Ali al-Zaidi at the White House, Washington, USA - 14 Jul 2026.
