Zarif criticizes Trump’s plan to blockade Strait of Hormuz

Apr 12, 2026, 20:45 GMT+1

Former Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif criticized US President Donald Trump’s plan to blockade the Strait of Hormuz in a post on X on Sunday.

“Blockading Hormuz — which is not blocked — to help global economy,” Zarif wrote. “Another ‘Art of the Deal’ Masterstroke?”

“The worst gamblers don't know when to leave a losing table,” he added.
