> US President Donald Trump says Washington will keep allowing economic pressure to build on Iran, describing the relationship as only “semi-negotiating.” The United States is maintaining a naval blockade of Iranian ports, with Navy vessels turning back ships bound for or departing from Iran. Trump calls the blockade essential to weakening Iran’s economy. Tehran has established its own requirements for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, including the withdrawal of US forces from the region.
