Trump Reverts to Economic Squeeze of ‘Entrenched’ Iranian Regime

The US military campaign against Iran has so far failed to force the regime to capitulate. The Trump administration is betting once again that suffocating economic pressure will do the job.

President Donald Trump says he is "low-keying it" with Iran as sanctions and a naval blockade compound Tehran's financial crisis and inflation.

"We are just watching Iran with its huge inflation and the fact they have no money," Trump said in an interview with Axios.

President Donald Trump said Sunday the United States is “low keying” its approach to Iran, signaling he is prepared for now to let mounting economic pressure squeeze Tehran rather than launch another major military offensive.
