President Donald Trump has publicly questioned Iran's ability to survive under the pressure of the ongoing US naval blockade. In a statement, he said, "I don't know how much longer they can survive." This comment continues the administration's public pressure campaign against Tehran, which includes a significant military buildup in the region and a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. The statement comes amid a fragile ceasefire and ongoing diplomatic tensions with European allies over the conflict.
