President Donald Trump has stated that the only way to bring Iran back to the negotiating table is to increase pressure on Tehran. According to a Wall Street Journal report, the U.S. president wants a speedy end to the war with Iran but believes this requires additional pressure measures. This comes amid ongoing U.S. economic warfare and naval blockade efforts against Iran. The administration has previously shifted strategy to focus on economic measures to force Tehran's submission.
