US President Donald Trump has chosen to intensify economic pressure on Iran rather than resume military strikes or agree to a peace deal on terms Washington considers unacceptable, according to a report by Axios. The approach marks a third option in the ongoing conflict, with the Trump administration looking to maintain its existing pressure campaign and tighten financial restrictions on Tehran. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio outlined the strategy during a meeting with G7 foreign ministers on Tuesday. He said Trump was not limited to choosing between returning to armed hostilities and negotiating an agreement with Iran.
