In the Face of Iranian ‘Demands,’ Tighten the Squeeze
Iran is demanding sanctions relief, troop withdrawals and compensation as its economy contracts at the fastest pace in four decades, Business Insider reported.
- Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, recently issued a list of "demands" that the United States must meet before Iran will open the Strait of Hormuz.
- Iran's economy faces its sharpest contraction in four decades, according to Business Insider, while the Foundation for Defense of Democracies estimated the blockade costs Iran $435 million a day.
- Mocking the demands, President Donald Trump instructed representatives to seek compensation for Americans killed by Iranian-backed forces, including those on the USS Cole and by General Soleimani.
- Tehran believes the United States lacks the will for a drawn-out conflict, and analysts suggest President Donald Trump's negotiation strategy has emboldened Iranian hard-liners.
- The United States continues to execute the blockade to pressure Iran, as President Donald Trump remains unwilling to risk American lives to retake the Strait of Hormuz.
