The US and Israel are considering a land blockade of Iran to increase economic pressure, senior Israeli sources told The Telegraph
The US and Israel are considering a land blockade of Iran to increase economic pressure, focusing on Turkmenistan borders, though it may be a strategic 'red herring' distraction.
News detail
The plan could involve urging neighbouring countries and regional partners to restrict border crossings and trade. A land blockade could target border crossings like Incheh Borun and Sarakhs-Sarahs, which connect Iran and Turkmenistan. Some have warned that enforcement would be diplomatically and logistically difficult across Iran’s seven land borders. The report also notes that there is a chance that Israel and the US floated the plan as a red herring to distract Tehran from their actual next step.
