US-Israel vs Iran War Live Updates: Tehran’s renewed blockade of Hormuz Strait, Washington’s stance complicate chaos

US-Israel-Iran War Live Updates, April 19, 2026: The US and Iran can sit for another round of peace talks in Pakistan. Earlier, President Donald Trump said that the blockade on Iranian ports would continue, and the US “have to start dropping bombs again.” Tehran has retaliated by once again blocking the Strait of Hormuz. Also, Tehran has refuted Trump’s claim that Iran had agreed to hand over its enriched uranium stockpile. Both sides have reached an impasse, and the war that began 50 days ago has resulted in a loss of $50 billion ​worth of crude oil that was not produced and supplied in this time period. Meanwhile, Israel has agreed to stop attacking Lebanon for 10 days.
