Trump Reposts Article Saying He Could Blockade Iran if Talks Fail
President Trump didn’t comment directly on the failure of talks with Iran in the immediate hours after Vice President JD Vance left Pakistan, but Trump posted to his social-media platform an article that said he could use a naval blockade if negotiations break down.
“If Iran refuses to accept the final deal the United States offered Saturday, Trump could bomb Tehran back to the ‘Stone Ages’ as he vowed,” says the article by journalist John Solomon, which Trump posted shortly after midnight Eastern time. “Or he might just reprise his successful blockade strategy to choke an already teetering Iranian economy and ratchet up diplomatic pressure on China and India by cutting them off [from] one of their key sources of oil.”
