Former US President Donald Trump has rejected Iran’s latest proposal in ongoing negotiations. He confirmed that the naval blockade on Iran will continue until a nuclear agreement is reached.
According to Trump, the proposal from Iran suggested reopening the Strait of Hormuz first. It also called for lifting the restrictions before nuclear talks. However, he dismissed this plan.
Sources say the United States Central Command has prepared options for limited military action. These plans reportedly include short and targeted strikes on key Iranian infrastructure.
Officials described the possible strikes as a way to break the current diplomatic deadlock. After any action, Washington would push Iran back into negotiations under stronger pressure.
Trump said the naval blockade is more effective than bombing in the current situation. He believes it is a stronger method to influence Iran’s decisions without immediate escalation.
However, reports confirm that no final military order has been given. As of Tuesday night, Trump had not approved any direct strike operations.
Despite this, the naval blockade remains central to US strategy. It is being used as the main tool to restrict Iran’s economic activity and oil exports.
Trump stated that Iran is seeking relief from sanctions and the naval blockade. He said Tehran wants a deal to restore its export capabilities.
He also added that he will not lift restrictions unless nuclear concerns are addressed. According to him, preventing nuclear weapons development is the top priority.
Trump further claimed that Iran’s oil system is under severe pressure. He said the country’s reserves and pipelines are struggling due to export restrictions caused by the naval blockade.
Some experts, however, question these claims and suggest the situation may not be as extreme. They argue that Iran still maintains certain export routes.
The situation continues to develop as diplomatic efforts remain stalled. The naval blockade is expected to remain a key pressure point in future negotiations.
For now, tensions remain high, and both sides appear far from reaching a final agreement.
