The president in recent days has been weighing three options: launch new strikes, continue to strangle Iran's regime economically, or cut a deal that includes significant concessions to the Iranians.
Trump signaled on Monday that he's going with the strangle strategy for now. That means keeping up the "status quo" — continuing the naval blockade, in addition to a new operation dubbed "Iron Gate" to cut off land routes that Iran uses to move advanced weaponry and other technology.
