"The Wall Street Journal reports that US President Donald Trump is preparing a long-term blockade of Iran, aiming to keep pressure on the Iranian economy until concessions are made."
"Trump urged the Iranian leadership to agree to a peace deal, emphasizing the need for Iran to 'better get smart soon' regarding negotiations."
