Iran Talks Leave Trump with Tough Decisions

President Donald Trump faces limited options after US-Iran peace talks failed, as his order to blockade the Strait of Hormuz could complicate his administration's next move regarding the ongoing conflict.
Negotiations remain difficult because Trump previously removed the United States from the 2015 nuclear accord reached by Tehran, which had restricted its nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief.
Danny Citrinowicz, a fellow at Israel's Institute for National Security Studies, wrote that a blockade exposes US forces to increased risk, stating, "There is little reason to believe that a blockade would force Iranian capitulation."
A CBS News poll published Sunday revealed that American worry and stress over the war outweigh confidence, with more than 80 percent of respondents urging the United States to reopen the Strait and improve global oil access.
Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guards pledged on Sunday that Tehran's enemies would be trapped in a "deadly vortex" if they make a wrong move in the Strait, while fewer than 10 percent of poll respondents believe current goals have been achieved.
