WHAT HAPPENED
On Sunday, President Donald Trump said the United States would increase economic pressure on Iran rather than launch more military strikes, declaring 'We are low‑keying it,' according to Axios as reported by the South China Morning Post.
Trump’s remark followed a week earlier when he issued fresh threats to hit Iran hard. The statement comes as Tehran has issued tough demands. According to the South China Morning Post, Trump is now pressing for a deal to end the war the U.S. and Israel began against Iran, preferring sanctions to further conflict. The Times of India repeats the same claim, describing the move as a 'low‑key' strategy.
The pivot reflects a broader U.S. policy shift amid Middle East tensions, especially after Israel rejected a U.S.-led 15‑point Gaza peace plan, underscoring Trump’s mixed diplomatic stance.
- Trump indicates a preference for economic sanctions over new military strikes against Iran.
- Statement follows recent threats and Tehran’s tough demands.
- The shift aligns with U.S. efforts to negotiate a deal to end the Iran war.
