US President Trump stated that the naval blockade against Iran will continue until Iran agrees to an agreement that alleviates US concerns about its nuclear program. It is understood that Trump rejected Iran's proposal to "lift the blockade first, restore navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, and then postpone nuclear negotiations," emphasizing that the blockade is currently the most effective means of exerting pressure. He stated that the blockade is "more effective" than direct military strikes, and claimed that Iran is under immense pressure due to its inability to export oil. Sources indicate that the US military has prepared a "short-term and powerful" strike plan, and if negotiations remain deadlocked, the US may consider striking key Iranian infrastructure to force it back to the negotiating table.
