The Times of Israel writes about it with reference to sources.

As the publication notes, during recent meetings, Trump decided to continue to put pressure on Iran’s economy and its oil exports by preventing shipping to and from Iranian ports.

The publication also says that the American leader believes that other options, in particular the resumption of bombing or withdrawal from the conflict, are associated with greater risk than the continuation of the blockade.

Opinions are divided among White House officials. Some openly call for increased pressure on Iran. Others express fears that the consequences of the war will have a negative impact on the U.S. economy and could affect the results of the Republican Party in the congressional elections.

The question of a ground operation, as before, has not been raised.
