Trump Urges Iranian Uprising as US Presses Iran Over Hormuz

Trump publicly calls for Iranians to rise up as Washington intensifies economic and military pressure, boasting near-total control of the Hormuz Strait while Iran’s economy collapses. Analysts say Tehran faces a “death spiral” with three possible outcomes—factional splits within the regime, a new wave of protests, or a negotiated deal—while the US emphasizes containment over invasion and continues strikes as unrest persists across Iran.
