President Donald Trump said his administration is focusing on economic pressure against Iran rather than new military strikes, citing Tehran's financial crisis and inability to pay troops. In an Axios interview, he noted the US naval blockade has worsened Iran's economic woes, while oil prices near $75 a barrel ease consumer pain. Trump avoided frustration over delays in a Strait of Hormuz deal, saying 'It will work out.'
