US President Donald Trump is considering fresh military strikes against Iran following the collapse of high-level peace talks held in Pakistan, according to multiple reports citing officials familiar with the matter.
The discussions, led by US Vice President JD Vance in Islamabad, ended without an agreement after both sides failed to resolve key differences, particularly over Iran’s nuclear program. The breakdown in negotiations has increased tensions and pushed the US administration to explore both military and economic options.
According to reports, President Trump and his advisers are now reviewing the possibility of resuming limited military strikes targeting key Iranian infrastructure. These could include facilities linked to energy and water systems, which Trump indicated may be considered if the situation continues to escalate. While the president stated that he would prefer to avoid further conflict, he made it clear that “all options remain on the table.”
Alongside potential military action, the United States is also moving forward with a naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global shipping route through which nearly 20% of the world’s oil supply passes. The blockade is intended to reduce Iran’s oil revenues and increase pressure on Tehran to return to negotiations.
Officials believe that combining economic pressure with the threat of limited strikes could push Iran toward a new agreement. However, experts have warned that such actions carry significant risks, including the possibility of military retaliation. US naval forces operating near Iranian waters could face threats such as drone or missile attacks with little warning.
Recent developments have already heightened concerns in global markets. The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the most important energy routes in the world, and any disruption could directly impact oil prices and international trade. Analysts warn that further escalation may increase instability across the Middle East and beyond.
Despite the failed talks, some diplomatic channels remain open. International actors have urged both sides to continue dialogue and avoid further escalation, especially as the current ceasefire period approaches its expiration.
The situation remains fluid, with the US weighing its next steps as tensions with Iran continue to rise.
