Trump Administration Halts Iran Talks, Shifts to 'Strangle' Strategy
First report 5h agoLast update 2h agoThe US is adopting a necessary long-term strategy of economic and military pressure to 'strangle' Iran until it meets US demands, abandoning quick confrontation.
Iran is facing increased pressure, including US sanctions on its hackers and a suspension of trade by the UAE, while Russia is reportedly supplying Iran with military aid.
Critics argue that Trump's Iran policy is a 'dangerous game of chicken,' has diminished the value of US promises, and has put the US in a strategic stalemate with only bad options.
Reports indicate that the US is assessing its military presence in the Persian Gulf and that Trump has stated no talks are planned with Iran, despite previous reports of discussions.
