August 10 news, according to Axios, US President Trump said on Sunday local time that he is prepared to increase economic pressure on Iran rather than order new military action, despite Iran continuing to resist the United States. The report said Trump said in a brief phone call: "We are handling this quietly." "We are only in a semi-negotiation state. We are just watching Iran, they face serious inflation and are short of funds." He emphasized that the Iranian economy "is in very bad shape" and has no money to pay military salaries. Trump said the US naval blockade has exacerbated the economic crisis of the Iranian regime. Meanwhile, Trump said that because oil prices have fallen to just above $75 per barrel, American consumers have felt less pain from the war. "It will work out. It always works out. It's like chess," Trump said of the back-and-forth with Iran. (Jin10)
