• The Trump administration is focusing on economic pressure against Iran.
• Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says economic pressure is hurting Iran the most.
• The US has not ruled out resuming airstrikes if necessary.
• Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned countries to cut off financial ties with Iran.

This shift in strategy may indicate the US is seeking to avoid further escalation while still applying pressure on Iran, which could suggest a preference for diplomatic solutions over military action. The economic pressure campaign may have significant implications for Iran's economy and could potentially impact the global financial system.
