Trump’s latest Iran intervention piles on economic pressure

President Trump has declared there are no peace talks going on or scheduled with Iran, as the economic difficulties of the war continue to put pressure on him and his Republican party during this midterm election year - but also on us, Europe and the rest of the world.

The US, ‌the UN, and the EU have applied sanctions, implemented trade embargoes, and frozen assets for decades over Iran's nuclear program and human rights violations.
