US, Israel considering land blockade to cripple Iran's economy: Report

The US and Israel are discussing a possible land blockade of Iran to increase economic pressure, as reported by The Telegraph.

The plan would involve pressing Iran's neighbors to tighten or close border crossings, restricting Iran's imports and exports.

Iran borders Iraq, Turkey, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Armenia, and Azerbaijan, requiring cooperation from countries not allied with the US and Israel.

A land blockade could target key border crossings such as Incheh Borun and Sarakhs-Sarahs, connecting Iran and Turkmenistan.

US President Donald Trump is looking for new options after believing his current strategy to reopen the Strait of Hormuz has reached its end.
