US President Donald Trump is considering limited military strikes on Iran and a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz following collapsed negotiations in Pakistan. Vice-President JD Vance led talks that broke down after Iran refused to abandon its nuclear programme. US officials demand the strait remain unrestricted and uranium enrichment halt. A wider bombing campaign remains under consideration but faces regional stability concerns. The blockade could pressure Iran's oil exports, though risks include potential missile attacks on US naval forces.
