    CNBC

    The Cabinet secretary's comments came hours after President Donald Trump declared that the U.S. plans to choke Iran's economy by levying major economic penalties against any country that provides "any type of lifeline" to Tehran.

  2. Mr. Trump added that diplomacy with Iran could happen “maybe at some point.” On Tuesday, he had insisted that the economic pressure campaign would continue and the White House had no plans to talk to the Iranians in the near future.

  3. Mr. Trump’s claim that the U.S. controls the strait stems from the operation of a naval blockade of Iran’s ports, which the president reauthorized last month. The blockade is just one aspect of Washington’s economic pressure campaign on Iran, which also includes a massive sanctions regime and asset seizures.
