Axios: Instead of war or an agreement, Trump chose the policy of economic pressure against Iran.
The website Axios, citing three people present at the meeting of the Group of Seven Foreign Ministers, reported that Marco Rubio, the US Secretary of State, announced in Paris on Tuesday, November 10, that Donald Trump had chosen a third strategy to put pressure on the Islamic Republic after considering the two options of renewing the war with Iran or reaching an agreement.
According to Rubio, the purpose of this strategy, known as the "economic strangulation of the Islamic Republic", is to postpone severe pressures on Iran's economy, limit Tehran's ability to finance assassination groups and rebuild its military power.
In this confidential meeting, Rubio emphasized that this policy has no time limit and Trump is not under time pressure to achieve results. He also said that the Iranians themselves are causing a lot of damage to their country's economy.
