US President Donald Trump has instructed his aides to prepare for an “extended blockade” against the Islamic Republic of Iran, sources told the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) on 29 April.
“Trump has instructed aides to prepare for an extended blockade of Iran. In recent meetings, including a Monday discussion in the Situation Room, Trump opted to continue squeezing Iran’s economy and oil exports by preventing shipping to and from its ports,” US officials told the outlet.
“He assessed that his other options – resume bombing or walk away from the conflict – carried more risk than maintaining the blockade,” they added.
The report coincided with one of the president’s customary Truth Social posts.
President Trump posts on Truth Social:
Iran can’t get their act together. They don’t know how to sign a nonnuclear deal.
They better get smart soon! President DJT
