The United States will renew military action against Iran and reimpose its blockade if Tehran does not fulfill its commitments under its agreement with Washington, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told reporters Thursday, ahead of planned talks to start hammering out a final US-Iran deal. “The president has pointed out that we will be prepared to recommence if underneath the timeline of these talks, Iran does not do what it says it’s going to do,” Hegseth said in Brussels after meeting NATO defense ministers. “If Iran doesn’t comply, then we’re more than able to reimpose an ironclad blockade.” The remarks came a day after US President Donald Trump put his signature on a memorandum of understanding with Iran — meant to end hostilities and kickstart full negotiations between the two countries — bringing its provisions into effect two days earlier than expected. The MOU did not resolve any of the war goals declared by the US and Israel following their joint strikes that kicked off the war in February. Rather, it pushed off discussion of Iran’s nuclear program and other core issues to a 60-day negotiation period. …

US ready to reimpose 'ironclad blockade' if Tehran violates deal ... U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has warned that Washington will restart military operations and reimpose a naval blockade on Iran if Tehran fails to fulfill commitments under the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), as early ship movements signaled the Strait of Hormuz was beginning to reopen. "We're going to be the big stick behind the negotiations," Hegseth told reporters in Brussels on Thursday following a NATO defense ministers' meeting. "If Iran doesn't comply, then we're more than able to reimpose an ironclad blockade," he added. Speaking at the same location, Hegseth characterized the agreement as "performance-based" and reliant on strict verification rather than trust, drawing a contrast with what he called "paper-tiger" policies of previous administrations. Hegseth laid out Washington's core demand in unambiguous terms: Iran must give up its nuclear weapons ambitions, surrender enriched material and close nuclear facilities within the timeline of the talks. "If underneath the timeline of these talks Iran does not do what it says it's going to do, just give up nuclear weapons, give up nuc…

US to begin lifting naval blockade of Iran, Trump says While the precise timeline remains unclear, the Trump administration is set to dismantle its blockade of Iranian ports in exchange for Iran lifting its threats to shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

Leader’s adviser: Iran will shatter US naval blockade if talks fail Mohsen Rezaei, advisor to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, says Iran remains committed to diplomacy but will not hesitate to decisively break any naval blockade imposed on the Strait of Hormuz if negotiations fail.

IRAN THREATENS US: Tehran Vows To "Defeat" American Naval Blockade ... Iran’s top negotiator and parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, vowed Monday that Tehran would “defeat” the U.S. naval blockade imposed on Iranian ports, while accusing Washington of escalating tensions throughout the region. “We will turn the naval blockade — which is a war crime and part of the enemy’s conspiracy — into yet another defeat for them through comprehensive planning,” Ghalibaf said, according to Iran’s semi-official Tasnim News Agency. The remarks came after President Donald Trump declared earlier Monday that the blockade, first imposed in April, would remain in place “in full force” until a final peace agreement is reached between the United States and Iran. Trump has previously argued that the blockade provides Washington with greater leverage over Tehran than military action alone. Ghalibaf, however, claimed the restrictions violate the temporary ceasefire arrangements and reiterated Tehran’s deep distrust of the United States. “The choice is not between war and negotiations,” Ghalibaf said. “Rather, we must fight when the time calls for fighting and negotiate when the time calls f…
