Trump calls US Iran naval blockade genius as nuclear deal demands stiffen

He says no agreement until Iran drops nukes

U.S. President Donald Trump praised the ongoing naval blockade against Iran as “genius,” arguing it would pressure Tehran to concede while the U.S. rules out any deal unless Iran abandons its nuclear ambitions. Trump also claimed America’s military edge is so large that Iran’s capabilities are effectively negligible, framing the blockade as a path to forced defeat.
