Trump said Iran understands it will never be allowed to have nuclear weapons. Iran said it is negotiating.

Axios reports US officials say economic sanctions could ultimately inflict more damage on Tehran than military strikes. US intelligence and open-source reporting point to a deepening Iranian economic crisis, including gasoline shortages despite Iran being one of the world’s largest oil producers. One senior US official said: "Iranians want the bombing to stop, they also want money. But the priority is almost reversed — what they really want is money." Another official acknowledged sanctions and a maritime blockade are likely to take longer than strikes to compel Tehran back to the negotiating table; Trump has not authorised a full-scale bombing campaign. The extended timeline could deepen Republican political risk by forcing them during the midterms to defend an unpopular war and high oil prices.
