The front page of the Jam Jam newspaper on sale at a newsstand features a cartoon of US President Donald Trump drowning in the Strait of Hormuz with the headline "Marine Bluff" in Tehran on April 13, 2026. The failure of US-Iran peace talks has left the US President with several unpalatable options, as analysts say his order to blockade the strategic Strait of Hormuz could further complicate his next move on April 12, 2026. Any hopes that US Vice President would emerge from the marathon day of negotiations with top Iranian officials with a deal to end a war that has rippled across the Middle East were dashed when he left hosts Pakistan emptyhanded.
