Iran warned of 'deadly' retaliation as the United States prepared to implement its blockade of all maritime traffic to and from Iranian ports starting Monday morning. Tehran has said the blockade would constitute an act of war and threatened to respond with force if its vessels are intercepted. The announcement came as the two-week ceasefire entered its sixth day with no prospect of a permanent deal in sight.
