Trump Ordered An End To Negotiations With Iran And To "strangle" The Country

The White House is playing for time.

U.S. President Donald Trump has ordered a halt to negotiations with Iran due to Tehran's unwillingness to make concessions, according to CNN reported. According to them, the directive not to engage in dialogue with Iranian negotiators was given to the U.S. leader’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance, and Special Envoy Steve Whitcoff. Also, as the network’s sources noted, the White House has abandoned attempts to “crush” Iran “as quickly as possible” and now intends to “strangle” it over time.

Prior to this, Trump had repeatedly stated that negotiations with Iran were progressing well and that a new agreement could be reached in the near future. On August 17, sources at Al Arabia reported that Washington and Tehran had reached an agreement to extend the ceasefire for another 60 days. However, the President subsequently posted on Truth Social that, at this time, “no negotiations or contacts with the Islamic Republic of Iran are taking place or planned.” He added that the naval blockade of Iranian ports continues, and that the Strait of Hormuz has been cleared of mines and is open to shipping.

Earlier, Trump promised to deal a heavy blow to Iran’s economy. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that Washington is preparing “unprecedented” measures to put pressure on Tehran. According to him, these measures will be aimed at restricting trade with the Islamic Republic and may affect buyers of Iranian oil. Reuters noted that the most likely way to increase pressure on Iran would be to impose sanctions on Chinese refineries and banks. However, such a move could prompt retaliatory measures from Beijing and disrupt the global energy market.

According to Bloomberg, the U.S. has imposed approximately 2,200 sanctions against Iran since 2018. However, this long-standing sanctions policy has not forced Tehran to abandon its nuclear program or relinquish control over the Strait of Hormuz. On August 12, Mohammad Reza Nagdi, an adviser to the commander-in-chief of the IRGC, stated that Tehran views prolonging the conflict until the end of Donald Trump’s presidential term as one option for ensuring its own security.
