Iran War: Trump Vows to Blockade Hormuz & Hungary’s Orban Concedes Defeat | The Pulse 4/13

Oil and gas jumped, while stocks and bonds fell after US President Donald Trump ordered a full naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz following failed negotiations with Iran over the weekend. US forces are set to begin the blockade on Monday.

Viktor Orbán’s 16-year rule ended as Péter Magyar’s Tisza party won with an overwhelming victory in Hungary’s election. Magyar pledged to dismantle the authoritarian system and repair EU ties.
