White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt outlines Iran blockade in Washington, D.C.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the United States has fully enforced a naval blockade on vessels entering or leaving Iranian ports while allowing commercial traffic unrelated to Iran to continue through the Strait of Hormuz. She said the move followed Iran's alleged violation of an agreement with Washington and added that U.S. forces were safeguarding maritime navigation. Leavitt also defended the administration's measures to stabilise oil prices, addressed immigration enforcement, food safety, and election integrity ahead of President Donald Trump's scheduled address. #KarolineLeavitt #WhiteHouse #WashingtonDC #Iran #StraitOfHormuz #USNavy #DonaldTrump #OilPrices #USPolitics #PressBriefing #MiddleEast #GlobalSecurity Thank you for watching our video!
