The deadline set by US President Donald Trump for the start of a US imposed naval blockade of ships entering or leaving Iranian ports has passed. 

The US military announced on Sunday it will begin blockading all Iranian Gulf ports on Monday at 1400 GMT, but will allow ships not coming or going to Iran to pass through the strait.
