Trump Vows to Maintain Iran Blockade; Israel Raids Gaza Aid Flotilla in International Waters
President Trump told Axios the U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports will hold until a nuclear deal is reached, as Tehran threatened a practical and unprecedented response. Hours later, Israeli forces intercepted the Global Sumud Flotilla in international waters near Crete, boarding 58 aid vessels bound for Gaza at gunpoint. India’s West Bengal recorded a post-Independence high of 92.47 per cent voter turnout as exit polls painted a divided picture between the BJP and TMC.
