Trump: We will severely strike Iran economically

Fox News quoted US President Donald Trump as saying that the United States would strike Iran economically with force, emphasizing that he did not care whether this would happen before or after the midterm congressional elections.

This comes at a time when the two countries are facing significant difficulties in reaching an agreement to end the war that has been raging between them for about six months.

Trump’s remarks came a day after US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that the United States would implement measures “unprecedented in history” against Tehran in the near future, possibly as early as next week.
