  "summary": "US Vice President JD Vance has stated that the war with Iran has entered a new phase, with the US relying on economic pressure rather than large-scale military action. According to Live Mint, Vance described economic pressure as the \"most effective tool\" available to Washington against Iran, but also warned that it could have wider consequences.\n\nThe US has been imposing economic sanctions on Iran, which Tehran has condemned as \"economic terrorism\" and a \"crime against humanity\". The Iranian foreign ministry has stated that the sanctions have targeted the fundamental human rights of individual Iranian citizens.\n\nThe US has urged allies and China to join its campaign to isolate Iran's economy, as President Donald Trump seeks to intensify pressure on Tehran. According to Arutz Sheva - Israel National News, Vance said that Washington is relying on economic pressure to prevent Tehran from rebuilding.",
