Negotiations between the United States and Iran to end the war are at an impasse as the conflict enters its third month. The Wall Street Journal reported late Tuesday that Trump has told aides to prepare for an extended blockade of Iranian ports to ramp up the pressure on Tehran.
Iran is saying it will enter into direct talks with the U.S. "when President Trump lifts what Iran considers to be the illegal military naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz," says Drop Site News co-founder Jeremy Scahill. "Iran has maintained that it's not shut down the strait, but that it's just shut it down for any vessels that are linked to the U.S. war in any way."
Scahill says a disorganized Trump administration is pushing a "total propaganda narrative" that it has the upper hand in negotiations, while Iran believes it has the "three M's" on its side: munitions, markets and the midterms.
