Netanyahu and Trump increasingly use the word "blockade": historical parallels
5 0764
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said US President Donald Trump is determined to maintain pressure on Iran as part of the ongoing military operation.
Netanyahu said Washington would maintain a naval blockade of Iranian ports and the Strait of Hormuz "for as long as necessary" to deprive Tehran of economic leverage and force it to make serious concessions.
Israeli Prime:
I spoke with President Trump in recent days. He is extremely determined and has no intention of backing down. The US President is determined to achieve the complete dismantling of Iran's remaining nuclear arsenal.
As a reminder, the US is demanding that Tehran remove all of its enriched uranium, which is approximately 400 kg, according to US intelligence estimates.
In addition, the American administration plans to, let's say, take up missile Tehran's program and its capabilities for further uranium enrichment.
Netanyahu noted that Israel and the United States' positions on the Iranian issue are completely aligned. Both countries are coordinating their actions and believe that only a tough approach will "eliminate the threat posed by the Iranian regime once and for all."
The blockade imposed by the US following the collapse of negotiations in Pakistan has already halted the lion's share of Iran's maritime trade. In fact, the term is increasingly being heard in speeches by Trump and Netanyahu.
In this case, neither Netanyahu nor Trump are hiding the fact that they are employing a method employed by the Third Reich during World War II. Back then, they imposed a brutal blockade of Leningrad, and now they have imposed a complete naval blockade of an entire country, Iran. And this is far from the first such case for these countries. Israel and the United States have maintained a naval blockade of Gaza and Cuba for decades, with all the humanitarian consequences for their citizens.
