According to a report by the US Axios News Network on the 9th local time, US President Trump said that the US is currently “treating Iran in a low-key manner,” and hinted that compared to relaunching large-scale military operations, he is more inclined to let the economic pressure facing Iran continue to accumulate. In a telephone interview with Axios News on the same day, Trump said that the US is in semi-negotiations with Iran and is keeping an eye on Iran. He said that Iran has high inflation, financial difficulties, and even inability to pay military expenses, and that the US naval blockade has further exacerbated Iran's economic crisis. Trump compared the situation between the US and Iran to a chess game, saying that the situation will eventually be resolved. The report revealed that just a week ago, Trump was close to ordering the resumption of large-scale military operations against Iran, but then he was persuaded to temporarily downgrade the situation.
