Trump’s Options on Iran Narrow, With Blockade and Sanctions Key Levers, Expert Says

US President Donald Trump has limited options for dealing with the Iranian crisis, according to former diplomat and international relations expert Dr. Michael O’Herli.

The expert, speaking from Dublin, said the range of choices available to the US president had narrowed.

O’Herli identified a blockade and sanctions as prominent tools still available to Trump as he considers how to address the crisis.

His assessment places economic pressure at the center of Washington’s remaining leverage over Iran, rather than pointing to a broad range of alternatives.
