No escalation, no deal... Trump chooses a third way to confront Iran

Tehran, Iran ·

Axios reported that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told his G7 counterparts that Trump had chosen to keep up economic pressure on Tehran as a third option, instead of military escalation or a deal.

Washington and Tehran have been in a long-running dispute over Iran's nuclear programme and its regional influence, and US economic sanctions have been a main tool of pressure since Washington withdrew from the 2015 nuclear agreement in 2018.
