US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has stated that the United States can sustain a blockade against Iran indefinitely. This threat comes as efforts to negotiate a ceasefire have faltered and regional tensions have heightened.

Additionally, reports indicate that the global oil supply is declining, further intensifying the economic pressure on Tehran. The US's stance appears to be a significant escalation in its approach towards Iran, amid ongoing instability.
