Netanyahu and Trump Discuss Possible Land Blockade to Increase Pressure on Iran

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Donald Trump discussed the possibility of imposing a land blockade on Iran during a meeting at the White House last Tuesday. This measure is being considered as a way to intensify economic pressure on the Iranian regime. According to a report by the British newspaper The Telegraph, the land blockade would require cooperation from Iran's neighboring countries, including Iraq, Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. These countries would need to tighten or close their borders with Iran to restrict the flow of goods into the Islamic Republic. The discussion is part of several options the two leaders are exploring to escalate actions against Iran.
