What happened

Well supportedReported by 29 independent outlets

The economic pressure campaign against Iran has been ongoing, with some sources noting it began in August 2026. Energy Secretary Chris Wright stated that the United States could seek to destroy Iran’s nuclear capabilities or wait for a change in government in Tehran, as current leadership might not allow for a nuclear agreement. The U.S. military's primary role in the Gulf is reportedly to halt Iranian energy exports. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump stated that a new proposal from Iran—including a complete opening of the Strait of Hormuz and talks on nuclear programs—was rejected.
