President Donald Trump urged Iran to sign a nuclear disarmament deal.
In a Truth Social post on April 29, Trump wrote that Iran "doesn't even know how to sign a nuclear disarmament deal." He added that the country "can't even get its internal affairs in order" and "should come to its senses quickly."
The U.S. also plans to sustain a counter-blockade of the Strait of Hormuz over the long term, according to the Wall Street Journal. The newspaper reported on April 29 that Trump recently instructed officials at a White House meeting to prepare for a prolonged blockade against Iran.
The Journal described the move as "a high-risk gamble" aimed at choking off Iran's financial lifeline to force it to give up a nuclear program it has long refused to abandon.
