Trump shares article saying he could impose naval blockade on Iran if it won’t ‘bend’

 After US-Iran talks in Islamabad ended with no agreement, US President Donald Trump shares on his Truth Social platform an article suggesting he could impose a naval blockade on Iran if it fails to accept US demands.

The article titled “The Trump card the president holds if Iran won’t bend: a naval blockade,” from pro-Trump outlet Just the News, says the blockade would choke the Iranian economy and pressure Iran’s allies China and India, who rely on Iranian oil exports.

The article says such a move by Trump would “reprise his successful blockade strategy” after a previous naval blockade “brought the Venezuelan economy to its knees” ahead of the US capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro in January.
