Vance: US-Iran conflict enters new phase of economic pressure

According to US Vice President JD Vance, the US has shifted its strategy towards Iran into a "new phase" focused on economic pressure. Vance claims this follows actions against Iran's conventional military and nuclear capabilities. He stated that despite attacks on commercial shipping, the US has maintained energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz, thereby reducing Iran's leverage in the region. Tehran is now being pushed to choose between continued economic isolation or improved relations with the West, with the US aiming to prevent any rebuilding of Iranian nuclear facilities.
