Trump beri bayangan beralih kepada tekanan ekonomi Iran

U.S. President Donald Trump indicated on Sunday that he is prepared to intensify economic pressure on Iran before considering launching a new military strike, according to Axios. In an interview with Axios, Trump stated that Washington is only engaging Tehran to a limited degree while closely monitoring the worsening economic condition of Iran.

The main focus, he said, is Iran's high inflation rate and the fact that they have no money.

He also mentioned that the drop in oil prices to around USD75 per barrel has reduced the impact of the conflict on the American people.
