US-Iran Conflict: In a major development concerning the tensions in West Asia, the United States is now reportedly planning for a short and powerful wave of strikes against Tehran. This comes after the peace talks between the two countries were reportedly stalled in Islamabad after Iran reportedly refused to meet the US delegation. According to a report by Axios, the sources familiar with the issue mentioned that the US Central Command (CENTCOM) is planning to target the major infrastructures in the region.
What’s the strategy of the US?
In an interview, President Donald Trump said, “They are choking,” highlighting his intention of hurting Tehran’s economy and limiting the country’s tendency to export oil. Furthermore, he also emphasised that Iran is anticipating a deal with the US to get the blockade lifted.
“Iran has just informed us that they are in a “State of Collapse.” They want us to “Open the Hormuz Strait,” as soon as possible, as they try to figure out their leadership situation (Which I believe they will be able to do!). Thank you for your attention to this matter!” President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Iran refuses to meet the US delegation in Islamabad
“Prospects for the resumption of the second round of U.S.-Iran talks in Islamabad today are rapidly fading, as Tehran is still not ready to meet the U.S. delegation, which was expected to arrive late tonight from Washington. Iran continues to insist that the Americans end their blockade of the Strait of Hormuz as a precondition for opening the second round of negotiations,” stated Kamran Khan, chairman of Pakistan-based news outlet ARY News, citing informed sources.
Response of Iran on blockade
Iran has also issued a strong warning to the US. According to the reports, a security source mentioned that the blockade by the US will be met by “practical and unprecedented action”. Alongside this, the country warned Washington of a “punishable response” if the tactics of developing pressure continue to exist.
