The Story
President Donald Trump stated the U.S. is low-keying it with Iran and only semi-negotiating. He indicated the U.S. will rely on economic pressure rather than strikes to end the war. Trump said Iran is in very bad shape economically and cannot pay its troops due to a U.S. naval blockade on Iranian ports. The Strait of Hormuz has been choked for over five months.
