The United States is considering a prolonged extension of its naval blockade against Iran, a move that could last for several additional months.
This possibility was discussed during a White House meeting on Tuesday between President Donald Trump and top oil executives.
According to an official who spoke on the condition of anonymity, the administration is evaluating how to maintain this pressure while simultaneously stabilising global energy markets.
A key focus of the discussions involved strategies to mitigate the financial burden on domestic users.

The president highlighted previous measures taken to balance the oil market and explored further actions to ensure that a continued blockade does not lead to a price surge for American consumers.
The meeting, which was initially reported by Axios, signals the administration’s readiness to sustain a long-term maritime standoff if deemed necessary.
