Strait Of Hormuz Blockade Aimed At Squeezing Iran Financially

Strait Of Hormuz Blockade Aimed At Squeezing Iran Financially

Author: FOX News Radio April 15, 2026 Duration: 16:11
The U.S. blockade of Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz is aimed at squeezing Iran’s economy by millions in daily oil imports and exports. As the blockade continues, the State Department hosted the first round of negotiations between Israel and Lebanon as senior Hezbollah officials announced they will not abide by any agreements made in the negotiations. Meanwhile, Pakistan has proposed hosting a second round of U.S.-Iran talks in Islamabad this week, just ahead of the current ceasefire expiring. FOX’s John Saucier speaks with Behnam Ben Taleblu, Senior Fellow at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies and Senior Director of FDD's Iran program, who says the actions taken in the Strait have been a possible bargaining tool against Tehran for a while, but only now has been a real option.
