> President Donald Trump said the United States is taking a deliberately low-key approach toward Iran, according to an interview with Axios. He emphasized that his administration is watching economic pressure build on the country. The comments came after months of U.S. military strikes, sanctions and a blockade targeting Iran. Trump made the remarks on Sunday while highlighting the effects of that pressure.
