The deadline set by the United States to initiate a blockade of Iran‘s ports expired on Monday, April 13, at 2:00 PM GMT, following the failure of negotiations between the two parties aimed at resolving the conflict in the Middle East.

Uncertainty Surrounding Implementation
Despite the expiration of the ultimatum, no official confirmation has been issued by the U.S. military regarding the actual initiation of this blockade, leaving uncertainty about the next steps.

Escalating Tensions
This decision was announced by President Donald Trump following the unsuccessful talks held in Islamabad over the weekend, which aimed to reach a sustainable solution to the regional conflict.

Potential Market Consequences
Such a measure could have significant repercussions on maritime trade and global energy markets, given the strategic role of Iranian ports in international exchanges.
