WEB DESK: The Trump administration appears prepared for a prolonged standoff with Iran, maintaining pressure without launching another military campaign or making concessions toward peace, The Washington Post reported.
Citing a US official, the newspaper said President Donald Trump had received multiple daily intelligence updates since the midterm elections but showed little appetite for renewed hostilities despite the diplomatic deadlock.
At the G7 summit in Paris, Secretary of State Marco Rubio rejected suggestions that Washington was making no progress. He said economic pressure was severely hurting Iran’s leadership, reducing the need for further large-scale military action, and dismissed Tehran’s negotiating demands as unreasonable.
The impasse follows the collapse of a memorandum of understanding signed in June to lay the groundwork for a broader peace settlement.
