Washington: The US naval blockade on Iran could continue for months, President Donald Trump has warned, as tensions in West Asia show no signs of easing.
The warning comes amid a prolonged standoff over the Strait of Hormuz, a key global oil route.
Blockade May Continue Longer
Trump said the US naval blockade on Iran would remain in place until Tehran agrees to key demands, including curbs on its nuclear programme.
Reports suggest the blockade is already impacting Iran’s economy and global energy markets.
Oil prices have surged sharply as supply concerns grow due to restricted movement in the region.
Rising Economic And Military Pressure
The blockade has disrupted Iranian oil exports, increasing financial pressure on Tehran.
US officials have also held discussions with energy companies to manage the global impact of the crisis.
At the same time, Iran has warned of strong retaliation and insists on its right to continue nuclear development.
Diplomatic Talks Remain Stalled
Despite backchannel communication, talks between the United States and Iran have made little progress.
Trump has urged Iran to agree to a deal, while rejecting proposals that delay nuclear negotiations.
The situation remains volatile, with fears that the conflict could expand further.
