Milan, 9 Aug. (LaPresse) – “We’re keeping a low profile. We’re only conducting partial negotiations with them. We are simply observing Iran, which is grappling with sky-high inflation and a lack of funds.” So said US President Donald Trump in a telephone call with Axios. President Trump – as reported by Axios on its website – hinted that he was prepared to allow economic pressure on Iran to mount – rather than ordering a new military offensive – despite the country continuing to defy the United States. “Just a week ago,” Axios reports, “Trump was on the verge of ordering the resumption of large-scale combat operations. However, in an interview with Axios, he did not issue any new military threats.” “Everything will be fine. It always works out. It’s like a game of chess,” Trump said regarding the back-and-forth with Iran, as Axios also reports.
