Trump Orders Long-Term Blockade of Iran to Force Nuclear Concessions Through Economic Pressure

Gate News message, April 29 — President Trump has directed his team to prepare a long-term blockade of Iran aimed at cutting off the regime’s funding sources and forcing Tehran to make nuclear concessions, according to U.S. officials. The strategy focuses on maintaining economic pressure on Iran and restricting its oil exports, including preventing vessels from entering and leaving Iranian ports.

In recent White House situation room discussions, Trump assessed that continuing the blockade carries lower risk than alternative options such as resuming military strikes or withdrawing from the conflict. The administration plans to sustain the economic squeeze on Iran as the primary tool for achieving its nuclear policy objectives.
