Trump Reinstates 'Maximum Pressure' Iran Strategy

U.S. President Donald Trump has reinstated the 'maximum pressure' campaign on Iran, aiming to curb Tehran's nuclear ambitions by targeting its oil exports. This initiative, which involves sanctions and measures to drive Iran's oil exports to zero, comes ahead of Trump's meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Trump criticized former President Joe Biden for not enforcing sanctions strictly, which allegedly enabled Iran to expand its nuclear program and influence. The International Atomic Energy Agency reports Iran's uranium enrichment is nearing weapons-grade levels, although Iran denies pursuing nuclear weapons. Trump's renewed policy reflects his first-term actions, and he remains open to negotiating a deal with Tehran. Iran's U.N. mission has not commented on these developments.
