Baqai: Insecurity in the Strait of Hormuz will continue as America’s economic war continues Foreign Ministry Spokesperson: America’s claims that Iran’s role in the Strait of Hormuz is ineffective do not match the realities on the ground and the market’s reaction, including their appeal to other countries for fuel supplies. Iran’s actions in this waterway since March 31 have not been for leverage, but rather a legal response based on international law to the military abuse and aggression of the United States and the Zionist regime. As long as the United States continues to insecurity, naval blockade, and economic war, security will not return to the Strait of Hormuz; a situation that Iran is not happy with, but is a direct result of America’s troublesome actions.

Live: US military says it disabled cargo vessel trying to run Iran blockade
US Treasury Secretary Scott Besant told Fox News on Sunday, October 9, that continuing the blockade and economic pressure for several more months could force the Islamic Republic to back down. The Iranian government is "collapsing" and is even having trouble paying its military.
Besant added that Donald Trump does not expect a new military conflict to occur until at least after the US midterm elections.
The US Treasury Secretary emphasized in this interview that it is not clear how this situation will end and presented three scenarios: a popular uprising, a split and conflict within the Revolutionary Guard, or the Islamic Republic's decision to negotiate and reach an agreement without a nuclear weapons program.
Referring to the sudden collapse of the Berlin Wall, he said that political developments sometimes occur without prior prediction. In the negotiation scenario, Tehran must reach an agreement that prevents the continuation of a nuclear program aimed at building weapons.
U.S. Forces Disable Cargo Vessel Attempting to Violate Blockade • • TAMPA, Fla. — U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces disabled a commercial cargo vessel in the Gulf of Oman, Oct. 10, after the ship’s crew ignored repeated warnings and attempted to run the ongoing naval blockade against Iran. • • A U.S. military fighter jet struck the stern of Panama-flagged M/V Ocean Molica (also known as the “Arika Sun”) with a precision munition, fully disabling the ship’s propulsion without harming the crew. The large cargo vessel was attempting to transit regional waters after having previously departed an Iranian port. • • CENTCOM forces resumed America’s blockade against all ships entering or departing Iranian ports on July 14. Four commercial vessels have been disabled and 135 ships have been turned around during three months of strict enforcement. Additionally, U.S. forces have destroyed 10 tankers linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' multibillion-dollar shadow network over the same period. • • All mariners are advised to heed blockade warnings from CENTCOM forces. Crews should also continue to monitor Notice to Mariners broadcasts and contact U.S. naval forces on bridge-to-bridge channel 16 when operating in the Gulf of Oman and Strait of Hormuz approaches.

From Trump's claim of postponing attacks until after the election to sending American ships to the region Donald Trump has announced that the United States will not attack Iran before the November 3 midterm elections and claimed that negotiations with Tehran are constructive. At the same time, he emphasized the continuation of economic pressure and the blockade and once again claimed that Iran will never obtain a nuclear weapon. These statements come at a time when reports have been published of the development of a three-day attack plan against Iran. The Wall Street Journal report indicates the movement of an aircraft carrier strike group and an expeditionary unit towards the Middle East. This synchrony has raised questions about the relationship between Washington's diplomatic messages and its military movements; However, military preparations alone do not mean a definitive decision to attack.

Trump: “No attack on Iran before November midterm elections”… Naval blockade maintained
What is this event about?
On July 13, 2026, Trump announced the United States would reinstate its naval blockade of Iran, targeting Iranian ships and customers.
This market will resolve to “Yes” if the United States government, or an authorized representative of the United States government, publicly and officially announces the end, termination, lifting, or suspension of the United States’ naval blockade on Iranian ships and ships of Iranian customers, between market creation and the specified date, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”.
An announcement qualifies if it communicates that the United States will generally cease blocking vessel traffic for Iranian ships and customers, including an announcement that the blockade will not take effect at all, even if some restrictions remain (for example, an imposition of fees). An announcement does not qualify if it reflects only a limited or partial change that stops short of a general end or suspension of the blockade, for example, an exemption for a specific vessel, cargo, or port.
A qualifying announcement must be a declarative statement of the United States government’s present termination or suspension of the blockade, previously-unannounced prior termination or suspension of the blockade, or definitive decision to terminate or suspend the blockade.
A qualifying announcement must clearly and unambiguously identify the end or suspension of the blockade. Statements that merely allude to, reference, or describe an end to the blockade, without clearly communicating it, do not qualify. The announcement need not use specific terminology or reference the end of a blockade by name; an announcement of a resumption of prior obligations, the maintenance of a status quo, or a return to a previously agreed baseline qualifies, provided the substantive policy of ending or suspending the blockade is clearly and unambiguously communicated.
A qualifying announcement must be made through official channels, by an individual acting in an official capacity. Statements made incidentally or informally in a context not intended for official communication do not qualify.
The following do not qualify:
Anonymous, unattributed, or leaked statements not confirmed as official;
Statements by persons not authorized to speak for the United States government;
Third-party speculation, analysis, or predictions that the United States government will announce or implement an end to the blockade;
Satirical, fabricated, hacked, or impersonated communications; and
Statements that describe a prospective, contingent, probable, or conditional end to the blockade rather than announcing a present and decided position.
Once a qualifying announcement is made, this market will resolve to “Yes” regardless of whether it is later reversed, or whether the blockade actually ends in practice.
Resolution will be based on official information from the United States government, including the President, the Department of Defense, the Department of State, and United States Central Command (CENTCOM), or the official representatives of the United States government.
