According to a report on the US Axios News website on the 25th, quoting US officials and sources, US Secretary of State Rubio recently told several US Union foreign ministers that the US is not expected to launch a new attack on Iran for the time being, and the current focus is shifting to other means of pressure, including economic sanctions. According to sources, during conversations with several foreign ministers, Rubio outlined the Trump administration's current policy on Iraq, which is to temporarily avoid military action against Iran, increase pressure on Iran's economy through the US Navy blockade and new sanctions, and at the same time transport as much oil as possible to the global energy market through the Strait of Hormuz. US officials said that although Rubio clearly stated that the US does not plan to return to large-scale combat operations, he did not rule out the possibility of counterattacking Iran when it first launched an attack. It is expected that this policy will continue at least until after the midterm elections, when new military operations may be put on the agenda again. The report also quoted US officials as saying that currently the US is not negotiating with Iran, but is putting pressure on it. “This kind of pressure may push Iran back to the negotiation table.”
