WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump stated that the United States is currently engaged in a 'low-key' approach with Iran, according to an interview with Axios. He also described ongoing discussions as 'semi-negotiating' with Tehran, as reported by CBS News and Al Jazeera. These statements came after Iran issued demands concerning the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
President Trump emphasized economic pressure as a key component of the US strategy toward Iran, according to CNN and Bloomberg. He indicated that this economic pressure would perform much of the work in US relations with the nation.
Iran had reportedly outlined conditions for allowing maritime traffic to resume through the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump’s remarks clarify the administration's stance on these developments. He did not provide specific details regarding the nature of the 'semi-negotiating' activities.
