The report claimed that the proposal was discussed during a White House meeting earlier this week between the U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

However, the proposal faces major logistical and political hurdles. Iran shares land borders with Iraq, Turkey, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Armenia, and Azerbaijan, making any coordinated blockade difficult to enforce without broad regional cooperation.
As of July 30, 2026 there was no official announcement made by either Washington or Jerusalem that such a blockade has been approved or is being implemented. The report describes discussions of a possible strategy, not an adopted policy.
