Donald Trump, President of the United States, said on Sunday, 18 Mordad 1405, in an interview with Axios, that his government currently intends to increase economic pressure on the Islamic Republic and, instead of launching a new military operation, will take a more cautious approach toward Iran.

In response to an Axios question about the status of negotiations with Iran, Trump said: “We’re taking it easy with it.” He added: “We’re only talking to them in a half-hearted way. We’re just watching Iran; with massive inflation and the fact that they don’t have money.”
