US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Washington does not believe the Islamic Republic has received any aid that could change the equations or current conditions of the war. Referring to the Islamic Republic's continued attacks on US naval vessels, Rubio said: "They continue to fire on our naval vessels, and when they do, they pay the price with their tankers." He added: "They are not targeting our ships, but they are losing five tankers. Last night they lost another five; four tankers were damaged and one sank. So they will continue to pay the price for these actions." The US Secretary of State emphasized: "In the meantime, we will continue to strangle their economy." Rubio had previously said that every time the Islamic Republic attacks US naval vessels, its tankers will be targeted. CENTCOM also announced on Wednesday, September 9, that American forces had destroyed 10 Iranian tankers in a week, and that no American warships had been targeted in the attacks by the Revolutionary Guards.
The US war with Iran will end after the November midterm elections to the US Congress, because Tehran "cannot hold out any longer," Trump claims. He also told reporters that the US military has destroyed nine Iranian ships, and the strikes will continue: "You'll see a lot more."

US Treasury Secretary Scott Besant said on Monday, September 29, on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Asheville, USA, that Washington will continue to apply economic pressure on Tehran and that the results of this pressure may appear in the coming weeks or months.
In response to a question about the possible time of the collapse of the Iranian economy, Besant said: “The thing is, we have the blockade and we will continue to apply pressure. We have had very good discussions here right now and I think that could happen in the coming weeks or months.”
The US Treasury Secretary added: “The economy does not necessarily have to collapse; "The Iranian government just needs to come to its senses," the US official added. "Besant will meet with his counterparts on the sidelines of the G20 summit and will work to increase economic pressure and isolate Iran." Scott Besant went on to say, referring to Iran's attack on US military bases in Jordan: "I think they are going to respond militarily because they are failing economically." @VahidOOnLine @VahidOnline

*LEAVITT ON IRAN: NAVAL BLOCKADE STAYS IN EFFECT
In a mission that will last at least 7 months, the US Navy is preparing to deploy the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt to continue the blockade of Iran.
The US is not planning new strikes on Iran yet and will rely on a naval blockade and sanctions, — Axios Secretary of State Marco Rubio told representatives of several allied countries that Washington does not plan to resume large-scale military operations against Iran "yet". Instead, the US will focus on a naval blockade, new sanctions and transporting as much oil as possible through the Strait of Hormuz to the world market. According to US officials, the US Navy has cleared most of the strait of mines, and more and more tankers are passing through it via its southern route. Washington believes that this has significantly weakened Tehran's influence on the global energy market. The Iranians have lost control of the strait. Now the US controls it, — said one of the US officials. At the same time, Rubio did not rule out new strikes if Iran attacks first. According to Axios sources, the current course may be maintained at least until the end of the US midterm elections, after which a new military campaign may be considered again. American officials also claim that over the past two weeks, almost no tankers have been recorded near Kharg Island, the main center for Iranian oil exports. There are currently no negotiations with Tehran: Washington expects that economic pressure will force Iran to return to them. Let us recall that Donald Trump previously called the Strait of Hormuz "American territory" and expressed his optimism about agreements with Tehran and the further conclusion of an agreement.

US military: 68 commercial ships diverted as part of US blockade of Iran
The US President has announced the start of the heaviest economic operation against the Islamic Republic, describing it as economic warfare and unprecedented isolation. Donald Trump has also threatened countries that help Iran circumvent economic pressure with severe consequences.
The US Central Command (CENTCOM) said it had diverted 67 commercial vessels, disabled three and seized two more as part of the naval blockade of Iran.
US launches "economic war" against Iran; Trump warns supporting countries
(Bloomberg) -- The US will begin what President Donald Trump said would be an unprecedented economic warfare operation against Iran, after faulting the country for failing to take its chance to make a deal with him.
US President Donald Trump announced in a message on Twitter that the United States would launch “the most severe economic operation ever undertaken against any country” after the Islamic Republic failed to seize the opportunity to reach an agreement. He called the move “economic warfare and unprecedented isolation,” writing that the Islamic Republic’s navy and air force had been destroyed, its military factories were in ruins, its national currency was worthless, and the country was “tipping point.” Trump also announced that any country that provided any kind of bailout to Iran through its financial institutions, companies, airports, or government agencies would face “very severe economic consequences.” He added that oil smuggling, swap lines, cash transfers, currency exchanges, ship registrations and shell companies must be stopped immediately. The US President called these measures "economic D-Day" and called on Washington's allies to stand with the US to isolate and defeat the "Iranian threat". He stressed that these historic measures will cripple the Islamic Republic's ability to spread terror and that the Islamic Republic will never obtain nuclear weapons
Trump declares a "historic economic war" and unprecedented isolation against Iran: a comprehensive ban on oil and shell companies, and a threat of dire consequences for any country supporting Tehran after it squandered the opportunities presented by the agreement.
CENTCOM announced that US forces have so far diverted 65 commercial vessels, disabled three, and boarded two as part of the naval blockade of Iran.
CENTCOM added that the guided-missile destroyer USS John Paul Jones is deployed to the waters of the region to enforce the blockade.
The US military rerouted 65 ships and disabled 3 as part of the Iran blockade.
There are currently no ongoing or planned dialogues or negotiations with the Islamic Republic of Iran. The maritime blockade remains fully in effect and in good standing. The Strait of Hormuz remains open and allows normal passage. All mines have been cleared or detonated. Thank you for your attention! President Donald J. Trump

How did this market resolve?
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.
