In an interview with Axios, Trump described the blockade as a highly effective measure, suggesting it exerts greater pressure than direct military strikes WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump has indicated that the United States will maintain a naval blockade on Iran until Tehran agrees to a deal addressing Washington’s concerns over its nuclear programme.
In an interview with Axios, Trump described the blockade as a highly effective measure, suggesting it exerts greater pressure than direct military strikes. He claimed the restrictions are significantly impacting Iran and are intended to prevent the country from acquiring nuclear weapons. Trump said Iran is seeking a resolution but warned that the blockade would remain in place unless a satisfactory agreement is reached.
Trump urges Iran to sign a deal after report suggests US may extend blockade Earlier, International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Grossi has claimed that most of Iran’s enriched uranium is likely still located in Isfahan. He added that satellite images show the impact of airstrikes carried out by Israel and the United States.
Grossi said that inspections at the Isfahan nuclear complex were suspended due to the war, and there is suspicion that uranium was moved into tunnels prior to the conflict in June 2025. The IAEA chief added that a ceasefire agreement would only be possible if Iran is politically ready, stressing that it is crucial to convince Tehran of the importance of negotiations.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump on Wednesday urged Iran to 'get smart soon' and sign a deal, following days of deadlock in efforts to end the conflict and a media report that the US would extend its blockade of Iran's ports. In a post on Truth Social, Trump, who has said Iran can call if it wants to talk and has stressed repeatedly Tehran cannot have a nuclear weapon, said the country 'couldn't get its act together.
' Iran wants some kind of US acknowledgment of its right to enrich uranium for what it says are peaceful, civilian purposes. It has a stockpile of roughly 440 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60%, material that could be used for several nuclear weapons if further enriched.
