Trump Shifts to Economic Pressure in Iran Conflict Amid Stalled Talks
President Donald Trump has shifted his strategy in the conflict with Iran from military strikes to increased economic pressure, including sanctions and a naval blockade, aiming to force Iran to end its nuclear program and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. While Trump claims Iran's economy is near collapse with high inflation and unpaid soldiers, Iranian officials dismiss these tactics as ineffective. Talks remain stalled, and both sides maintain firm positions amid concerns over prolonged conflict and rising global oil prices.
