US end of Iranian blockadePresident Donald Trump is reportedly considering three distinct strategies regarding Iran: negotiating a nuclear deal, intensifying an economic blockade, or escalating to military strikes. The discussions took place during a meeting between Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. What to WatchObservers are closely monitoring any official announcements from the Trump administration regarding its chosen strategy. A decision to intensify the economic blockade or pursue military action could further reduce the likelihood of the U.S. ending the blockade by the end of July 2026. Additionally, any statements from Iran or new diplomatic efforts could influence market perceptions about the potential for a U.S.-Iran deal in 2026 or a permanent peace agreement between Israel and Iran.
