On April 13, the WSJ reported that officials and insiders stated that Trump and his advisors are considering resuming limited military strikes against Iran while implementing a blockade in the Strait of Hormuz to break the current deadlock in peace negotiations. Officials indicated that Trump might also reinstate comprehensive bombing operations, although they noted that this possibility is lower, as it could further exacerbate regional instability and Trump himself is reluctant to become embroiled in a prolonged military conflict. U.S. officials and those close to the government stated that whichever option Trump chooses, it carries significant risks. Restarting a full-scale war would further deplete critical ammunition reserves and expose Trump to backlash from voters skeptical of Middle Eastern conflicts; conversely, if military actions are scaled back while the Iranian regime remains intact and continues its nuclear program and control over the Strait, it could be perceived as a victory for Tehran.

On April 13, the U.S. Central Command stated that its blockade measures apply to all vessels entering and leaving Iranian ports and coastal areas, covering all Iranian ports located in the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. Ships traveling to non-Iranian ports through the Strait of Hormuz will not be disturbed. Foreign media reports indicate that this action is more restrained compared to Trump's description on Sunday, where he threatened to block 'all vessels attempting to enter or leave the Strait of Hormuz.' However, the announced blockade appears to be broader, as it targets vessels leaving all Iranian ports, clearly including ports distributed along the Gulf of Oman, beyond the Strait of Hormuz.
