Speaking to reporters at Joint Base Andrews on April 13, President Donald Trump said he was indifferent to whether Iran returned to the negotiation table after talks in Islamabad stalled, asserting "I don't know. I don't care if they come back or not." He said Iran was "in very bad shape" and "very desperate," and claimed that after what he described as a month-long US military operation Tehran's missile stockpiles and the manufacturing capability for missiles and drones had been "largely depleted" or "largely defeated." Trump said the United States had been "very nice" and "haven't ripped down too many bridges," and he accused Iranian leaders of breaking promises under a two-week ceasefire, including a pledge to open the Strait of Hormuz. Trump reiterated that Iran would not be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon and announced a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz to begin "at 10 o'clock tomorrow," saying other nations were cooperating and that the United States Navy would begin intercepting vessels to prevent Iran profiting from passage. He posted that at some point an "all being allowed to go in, all being allowed to go out" basis would be restored but said the blockade was necessary amid Iranian claims about mines. The talks in Islamabad, which he said included a 21-hour meeting, ended in stalemate and Vice President JD Vance returned to the United States.

Why This Matters to You

Las tensiones con Irán pueden afectar los precios mundiales del petróleo. Precios más altos del petróleo pueden significar costos de gasolina más altos para usted. Además, si tiene familia en el ejército, podrían verse afectados por estos desarrollos. Manténgase informado con las noticias.

The Bottom Line

La indiferencia del presidente Trump ante el regreso de Irán a las conversaciones podría prolongar las tensiones. También ha anunciado un bloqueo de un importante paso petrolero. Esto podría escalar la situación. Vale la pena reenviarlo si conoce a alguien que sigue los precios del petróleo o tiene familiares militares.
