In the event of a failed Washington-Tehran agreement, ‘if Iran does not give in’
US President Donald Trump reposted an article on his social network Truth that suggests how the US could implement a “naval blockade” in the Persian Gulf to damage Iran’s economic interests, in the event of a failure between Washington and Tehran. The post, published by the online media Just the News, is titled: ‘The trump card the president has if Iran does not give in: a naval blockade.’ Trump reposted it on his Truth account at 6:16 this morning, practically coinciding with the news arriving from Islamabad, announced directly by his deputy JD Vance, according to which the ongoing negotiations with Iran had failed.
The article suggests that the naval blockade strategy, already adopted in the case of Venezuela, could “stifle an already unstable Iranian economy and increase diplomatic pressure on China and India, cutting them off from one of their main sources of oil.” The piece cites “some experts who say that “Trump may simply ‘overcome’ Iranian control of the Strait of Hormuz with an even more effective blockade.
