The United States is reportedly considering a naval blockade aimed at curbing Iran’s oil exports as a possible step before any direct military action, The Jerusalem Post reports.

Similar measures were used by the Trump administration earlier this year against Venezuela, where a blockade of sanctioned tankers was implemented as part of pressure on the Maduro regime.
