CoinFeed reported on April 12 that, according to Xinhua News Agency, US President Trump retweeted an article on social media on the 12th about a "naval blockade" of Iran. The Iranian Embassy in Austria responded that same day, stating that a blockade cannot "open" the Strait of Hormuz. The embassy wrote on social media: "A simple explanation to those concerned: a blockade is a blockade. It cannot 'open' the Strait of Hormuz; it only restricts it. The only way out of this self-inflicted predicament is to remain open and flexible in negotiations. Follow reason."
