Who are the advisers to the President of the United States?

Can’t they see that the blockade is the very thing dragging the entire region deeper into this war?

You cannot call for an immediate ceasefire and expect Iran to abide by it while the blockade remains fully in force. Those two positions are fundamentally incompatible.

If you want the Iranian regime to sign a deal, hit it hard. Sustained pressure—not mixed signals—is what forces dictatorships to make concessions. Every pause gives them time to regroup, rearm, and escalate, while every display of resolve brings them back to the negotiating table.

Strength creates leverage. Hesitation only prolongs the conflict.
