White House adviser Stephen Miller told Fox News the US could maintain its blockade of Iranian ports “indefinitely” after US-Iran talks in Islamabad ended without agreement.

Miller added the embargo is “squeezing the economic life” of Iran and the US has the capacity to continue it indefinitely unless Iran agrees to a deal
