## Resource

After failing to secure a peace deal and instead declaring a full U.S. blockade of Iranian ports, Donald Trump adopted a far more aggressive strategy to achieve a goal he has pursued for weeks: restoring unrestricted global access through the Strait of Hormuz. The move appears designed to intensify pressure on Tehran following the collapse of direct negotiations between U.S. and Iranian officials in Pakistan over the weekend, which failed to produce a path toward ending the conflict. Trump also indicated that other nations might join the effort, but early signs suggested limited support, with Benjamin Netanyahu emerging as the only leader to publicly endorse the plan. Independent media has never been more important.
