President Trump said Monday that the U.S.’s naval blockade on the Strait of Hormuz will be reinstated as Washington and Tehran fight for control of the crucial waterway after strikes were exchanged over the weekend. “The Hormuz Strait is OPEN, and will remain OPEN, with or without Iran,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “We are reinstating the THE IRANIAN BLOCKADE, so named because it is only stopping Iran’s ships or customers from entering or leaving.” “All other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait,” he said, adding that the U.S. will be known as “the Guardian of the Hormuz Strait.”

British counter-terrorism police officers are now leading the investigation into the suspected murder of former British government minister Ann Widdecombe in light of new information, interior minister Shabana Mahmood said on Monday. Widdecombe, 78, was found dead at her home in rural southwest England last Thursday with what police described as "serious injuries."

The former MP, 78, was found dead on Thursday at her home in Haytor, Devon, having sustained serious injuries. Police activity was seen throughout Sunday at a house in Rotherham believed to be connected to the investigation, after neighbours described officers arriving on Saturday night to make an arrest.
