Curated summary
Donald Trump signaled that the US is stepping back from new strikes on Iran and instead trying to squeeze Tehran economically. He said Washington is “low-keying it,” described only indirect contact with Iran, and pointed to inflation and cash shortages as leverage points. The move comes while talks over the Strait of Hormuz remain stalled and regional reporting suggests the White House may be willing to end the conflict without a nuclear deal if shipping resumes.
