Washington Insists on Blockade.. Suffocating Iranian Economy

US President Donald Trump confirmed in a firm speech that there's no retreating from the naval blockade. These statements reflect American insistence on activating the economic suffocation policy until Tehran submits to Washington's demands. The American administration refused considering the Hormuz closure a successful pressure card, describing it as international blackmail. The Pentagon issued directives to enhance military and defensive capabilities in vital bases to protect Western interests. Major oil-importing countries, like China and Japan, feel deep concern regarding both parties' intransigence and economic impact. Washington seeks to fully isolate the Iranian regime financially and commercially, multiplying the already struggling internal suffering. These developments confirm the failure of traditional diplomatic efforts to make any serious breakthrough in the crisis wall. The international community demands new mechanisms to resolve disputes away from imposing facts and unilateral economic sanctions. Military options remain on the table for decision-makers in Washington if Tehran goes too far threatening navigation. The continuation of this strict policy may push the region towards overwhelming chaos sparing no involved party.
