US President Trump attempts to force Iran to compromise through sanctions and blockade, facing a challenge to control of the Strait of Hormuz

US President Trump is attempting to force Iran to end the war through a new round of sanctions, maritime blockades, and pressure on Iran's trading partners. The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has effectively controlled the Strait of Hormuz and launched attack drones into the Persian Gulf. Finance Minister Besant will announce new plan details on Monday, shifting the conflict towards comprehensive economic isolation.
