Trump’s Economic War on Iran | San Antonio News

Trump’s new strategy to end the Iran conflict hinges on crushing sanctions, betting that economic pressure—not military force—will force Tehran to surrender on its nuclear program and reopen shipping lanes. With U.S. weapons running low and talks stalled, Trump claims Iran is financially collapsing, even warning that its soldiers can’t be paid amid soaring inflation. Oil prices spiked as traders fear reduced shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, but Iran remains defiant, calling sanctions a predictable failure that could backfire. The White House dubs this “Operation Economic Fury,” threatening to sanction any nation doing business with Iran—but experts caution that sanctions rarely deliver quick wins. The real test: how far the U.S. will go to cut off Iran’s oil and whether patience will yield results. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
