Donald Trump stated that the naval blockade of the USA against Iran will only be lifted in the case of an agreement or a total capitulation of Tehran.

American President Donald Trump stated that the naval blockade imposed by the US on Iran will be maintained until Tehran reaches an agreement or completely surrenders. Despite official denials from Iran, Trump claimed that negotiations are ongoing. He criticized Iranian leaders for duplicity, stating that they request meetings but publicly deny the discussions are taking place.

Trump emphasized that the Strait of Hormuz is under the control of the US Navy, and no goods will reach Iran without an agreement. He also reiterated that Iran will never obtain a nuclear weapon.

Over the weekend, Trump threatened Iran with devastating attacks but decided to cancel them to resume negotiations. In contrast, the spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry stated that the Islamic Republic is not negotiating with the US, but with Oman to secure navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
