Trump Orders Long-Term Blockade on Iran, Aims to Use Economic Means to Force Tehran's Nuclear Concession

BlockBeats News, April 29th – U.S. officials stated that President Trump has directed his aides to prepare for a long-term blockade against Iran, aiming to cut off the Iranian regime's sources of funding and force Tehran to make nuclear concessions through aggressive means. In recent discussions at the White House Situation Room meetings, Trump has chosen to continue squeezing Iran's economy and its oil exports, maintaining the blockades on ships entering and leaving Iranian ports. Trump assesses that other options such as resuming airstrikes or exiting the conflict pose a higher risk than maintaining the blockade.
