Claim 1: “The deadline set by US President Donald Trump for the start of a US imposed naval blockade of ships entering or leaving Iranian ports has passed.”
CORROBORATED
Multiple web search results confirm the deadline passed and the blockade began. The first web search explicitly states the blockade 'came into effect' after the deadline, while another notes the blockade started over 12 hours ago following Trump's order. These independent sources align on the deadline expiration and blockade initiation.
