Iran can withstand the US blockade for a long time.

The Independent reports, citing U.S. intelligence data, that Iran could possibly withstand a U.S. naval blockade for several months.

According to sources, Tehran has reserves of food and essential goods and could withstand economic pressure for approximately 90–120 days, possibly even longer. The country's large oil reserves also play a significant role in this regard.

It is also reported that Iran has so far retained 75% of its pre-war missile systems and 70% of its missile reserves. This raises doubts about the U.S. statements regarding a "quick and complete victory."

Meanwhile, according to Al Arabiya, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is demanding from the U.S. that no peace agreement be signed until Iran's nuclear program is completely halted.

The Israeli side is also considering escalation scenarios — including the possibility of striking Iran's energy infrastructure, which is under discussion.
