The Wall Street Journal reports that US Navy warships are on high alert, prepared to enforce a naval blockade on Iranian ports if President Trump gives the order in the coming hours. The report, attributed to unnamed US officials, comes amid a prolonged period of heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran. As The Zioneer reported at 00:44, the Journal's report indicates that warships are positioned for a possible blockade renewal. The move follows a series of diplomatic and military signals from the Trump administration, including threats to strike Iranian nuclear facilities and power plants. The report does not specify whether the blockade would be a new measure or a reimposition of the naval quarantine that was reportedly lifted earlier this month. The situation remains fluid, and no official confirmation from the Pentagon or the White House has been issued.
