President Donald Trump said the United States may reinstate the naval blockade on Iran, according to a statement reported Wednesday. The remark follows a thread of shifting U.S. policy signals toward Tehran, including earlier reports that Trump was preparing to lift the blockade.
President Donald Trump said Wednesday that the United States may reinstate the naval blockade on Iran, according to a statement reported by Israeli media. The remark marks a reversal from reports earlier this week that Trump was preparing to lift the blockade as part of a diplomatic opening. As The Zioneer reported on Sunday, Trump was reportedly weighing an immediate end to the naval siege on Iranian ports to prevent an Iranian attack on Israel. The new statement suggests the administration is keeping the blockade option on the table amid ongoing nuclear negotiations and military threats. The timing and conditions for a potential reinstatement were not detailed.
