Trump Orders US Navy to Enforce Long-Term Blockade of Iran’s Ports
US President Donald Trump has directed national security officials to prepare a prolonged naval blockade of Iran’s ports. He aims to force Tehran to dismantle its nuclear programme, according to a Wall Street Journal report. The report indicates that Trump doubts Iran is negotiating in good faith. He wants a deal to suspend uranium enrichment for 20 years under strict post-deal restrictions. In a recent White House Situation Room meeting, Trump rejected renewed air strikes and walking away from talks as too risky. Instead, he ordered the US Navy to squeeze Iran’s oil exports until Tehran agrees to all of Washington’s demands. On his social media platform, Trump warned Iran that “they better get smart soon.”
