Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff for policy and homeland security adviser, cautioned that the ongoing conflict with Iran could drag on indefinitely if the Iranian regime does not meet President Donald Trump's demands. Miller's comments came amidst the enforcement of a naval blockade aimed at crippling Iran's economy. He stated, “This embargo is squeezing the economic life out of the Iranian regime,” highlighting the U.S. military's readiness to escalate actions if necessary. Despite Trump’s earlier assertion that the war would last only four to five weeks, Miller's remarks suggest a more prolonged engagement is possible. The administration is focused on pressuring Iran to cease its nuclear enrichment program, with further sanctions on countries purchasing Iranian oil also in consideration. A recent poll indicated that 66% of Americans wish for the war to end, reflecting growing concerns over rising oil prices and economic instability. The U.S. is also looking forward to potential peace talks in Pakistan, although no date has been set.
