President Donald Trump announced a strategic pivot in the war with Iran, focusing on economic measures to force Tehran's submission. The new approach will intensify sanctions, restrict Iranian oil exports, and target the country's financial networks. Officials say the policy aims to cripple Iran's economy while avoiding further military escalation. The shift follows recent diplomatic talks and reflects a broader effort to leverage economic pressure as a primary tool in the conflict.
