Trump Orders Prolonged Blockade Strategy Against Iran

WASHINGTON: (Web Desk) – A report by The Wall Street Journal states that Donald Trump has instructed US officials to prepare for a prolonged blockade strategy targeting Iran. The move is aimed at increasing economic pressure, particularly on Iran’s oil exports and maritime trade.

According to the report, Trump directed advisers to take steps to restrict ships traveling to and from Iranian ports, as part of a broader effort to tighten economic constraints on Tehran. The strategy is intended to push Iran toward concessions, particularly regarding its nuclear programme.

The development comes amid ongoing diplomatic uncertainty, with Iran reportedly informing mediators that it needs additional time to consult with its leadership before issuing a formal response. The delay reflects internal deliberations as tensions between the two sides remain high.

Analysts say the proposed blockade could have significant implications for global energy markets and regional stability, especially if it disrupts key shipping routes in the Gulf.
