Trump doesnt know if Iran is going to give up yet
What happened
President Trump says he is unsure if Iran will surrender, despite Iran's economic struggles due to the war, including a decline in oil exports and a weakened currency. The US has imposed a blockade on Iran's oil exports, while Iran has denied it will surrender to US pressure. Mediators are working to broker a deal to end the war and open the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's top diplomat, Abbas Araqchi, has stated that indirect negotiations with the US have become "more serious".
Why it matters
The conflict between the US and Iran has significant economic implications, particularly for the global oil market. The war has led to a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route, and has caused economic costs for both the US and Iran. The outcome of the conflict is uncertain.
