"The blockade is somewhat more effective than the bombing. They are choking like a stuffed pig. And it is going to be worse for them. They can't have a nuclear weapon."
"They want to settle. They don't want me to keep the blockade. I don't want to [lift the blockade], because I don't want them to have a nuclear weapon."
"Iran's oil storage and pipelines are getting close to exploding because Iran can't export oil due to the blockade."
"The U.S. naval blockade will soon be met with practical and unprecedented action."
U.S. Central Command has developed a plan for a series of strikes on Iran aimed at breaking the current negotiation impasse. These strikes would target infrastructure, with the intention of pressuring Iran to return to negotiations. Trump believes the blockade is more effective than military action but is open to considering strikes if Iran remains uncooperative. He stated that Iran is under significant pressure due to the blockade, which is impacting their oil exports. An Iranian source warned of potential retaliation against the U.S. blockade.
