The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

President Donald Trump is shifting the nearly six-month Iran war toward sanctions and other economic pressure, saying the U.S. can semi-negotiate while watching Iran’s inflation and cash shortages. He said the administration has three options: keep negotiating while military pressure continues, intensify sanctions and financial controls, or wait as Tehran’s economy weakens. The turn follows failed efforts to end the conflict through limited bombing, threats and ceasefire talks. Tehran wants reparations and sanctions relief, while Trump is demanding compensation from Iran.
