Trump beri bayangan beralih kepada tekanan ekonomi Iran

US President Donald Trump indicated on Sunday that he is prepared to increase economic pressure on Iran, rather than launching a military attack, according to Axios sources, via Anadolu Agency. The president stated simply, "We are looking at Tehran with limited engagement while closely monitoring the deteriorating state of Iran's economy."

Trump noted the high inflation rate and the lack of funds in Iran, emphasizing, "Iran is in a very poor financial state and struggling to pay its military members." The US Navy's sanctions have intensified pressure on the Iranian government and contribute to the country's economic crisis, Trump added. The decline in oil prices to around USD75 per barrel has also reduced the economic impact of the conflict on the US population.
