President Donald Trump is expected to convene a high-stakes Situation Room meeting with his top national security advisors, on Tuesday, just days after issuing a stern warning to Iran that "the clock is ticking" to negotiate a new deal. The meeting follows a grueling five-week maritime operation in the Middle East, where U.S. forces have successfully blocked commercial shipping vessels from entering or leaving Iranian ports. While the aggressive blockade has effectively paralyzed Iran's domestic economy, the regime has steadfastly refused to abandon its nuclear ambitions, leaving Washington at a dangerous crossroads.
