“US President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social early on Monday that the US will blockade ships entering or exiting Iranian ports at 10 a.m. Eastern Time (1400 GMT) later in the day”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim references a specific announcement by Trump on Truth Social about a maritime blockade of Iranian ports at 10 a.m. ET on April 13, 2026. However, the evidence includes only one web search result mentioning Trump's general statements about blockades (not Iran/Venezuela), and no other sources confirm the specific claim about Iranian ports or the exact date. Wikipedia entries are unrelated.

“echoing an announcement from the US Central Command on the issue”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
The claim states that CENTCOM had previously announced a maritime blockade of Iranian ports at 10 a.m. ET. While web search results mention CENTCOM starting a blockade on April 13 at 10 a.m. ET, they do not confirm any prior announcement. The evidence lacks direct corroboration of the 'previously announced' aspect, and Wikipedia entries are unrelated to the specific claim.
