President Donald Trump says the United States is taking a less confrontational approach with Iran, focusing on economic pressure rather than military strikes. Trump said he is "low-keying it" with the Islamic Republic as sanctions and a naval blockade add to Tehran's financial crisis and inflation.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump responded to Iran's demand for compensation for damage suffered during the last five months of war. He said he likes the "interesting idea" and will demand compensation from Iran in return.
The comments signal a shift in tone, with Trump emphasizing economic measures over further military action.
