Has US begun naval blockade of Iran?

Analysis Reasoning

No US naval blockade of Iran has begun; the post's claim of an official blockade restricting ships at Iranian ports is unsupported by Reuters or any credible sources. A YouTube video discusses Trump's vague statement on inspecting Iran-tolling ships in the Strait of Hormuz amid failed talks, but no blockade is confirmed or in effect.
