**Trump’s “Just Because” Behavior: Wants Peace with Iran but Still Blocks the Strait of Hormuz**
Cryptographer and the pioneer behind the smart contract concept Nick Szabo said that U.S. President Donald Trump’s actions seem to have a double standard. The reason is that, although he wants to make peace with Iran, he still enforces a blockade in the Strait of Hormuz.
“Blockade is an act of war. Trump says he wants to maintain the blockade, and thus clearly does not end the war,” he said, citing his personal X account on Wednesday (06/05).
Meanwhile, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent revealed that Iran is facing economic pressure as a result of U.S. actions that choke or threaten that country’s finances.
“They can’t pay their soldiers. This is a real economic blockade. Their oil infrastructure is starting to crumble. That infrastructure is no longer being maintained because of the sanctions we have imposed on them for decades,” he said.
