  "account": "US President Donald Trump has been known to make grandiose statements, so it's unsurprising that he threatened Iran with a \"devastating economic operation\" and claimed to have identified the \"D-Day\" for the mullah regime in Tehran. The D-Day of 1944, when Allied forces landed in Normandy, marked the end of Hitler's tyrannical rule. However, recent news from Seoul suggests that the United States has canceled a military exercise planned for September with South Korea due to a lack of troop capacity, as reported by the South Korean Marine Infantry. When combined, these events paint a picture of the world's largest military power being unable to subdue Iran militarily, leading it to attempt an economic war instead. Trump's grand pronouncements are, in reality, an admission of his own weakness and chronic overconfidence. It appears highly doubtful that the United States can win either the economic or military confrontation with Iran. Indeed, Iran is suffering. Its currency has fallen to record lows, inflation has skyrocketed, and providing the population with essential resources like water, electricity, gas, and gasoline has become increasingly challenging.",
  "summary": "Die USA können den Iran militärisch nicht bezwingen und versuchen es jetzt mit einem Wirtschaftskrieg. Doch die Erfolgsaussichten sind nicht besser als die des Waffengangs.",
