FLASH The US and Israel are considering a land blockade of Iran to increase economic pressure, senior Israeli sources told The Telegraph

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.
