“A day after failed peace negotiations between the United States and Iran in Islamabad, President Donald Trump said the U.S. Navy will start blockading the Strait of Hormuz.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim is related to events mentioned in the Wikipedia evidence regarding negotiations and potential conflict involving the US and Iran, but the specific sequence—Trump stating a blockade *a day after* failed talks in Islamabad—is not directly corroborated by multiple independent sources. The provided evidence only mentions negotiations starting on April 12, 2025, and a timeline for a war starting in February 2026, but not the specific blockade announcement following failed talks in Islamabad.
