Israel supports Trump’s Iran blockade: Bibi

JERUSALEM : PM Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that Israel supports President Trump’s decision to impose a naval blockade on Iran. “Iran violated the rules (of the peace talks in Pakistan), President Trump decided to impose a naval blockade,” Netanyahu reportedly said at a cabinet meeting. “We, of course, support this firm position, and we are in constant coordination with the US.”

“The breakdown came from the American side, which could not tolerate Iran’s blatant violation of the terms for entering negotiations,” Netanyahu told the cabinet. “The agreement was that there would be a ceasefire, and that the Iranians would immediately open the strait. They did not do so.”
