Derek Hoffmann, Former US Diplomat, speaking from Washington DC, says the rising diesel prices and limited options for relief are adding to the Trump administration’s challenges. He says growing public concern over inflation ahead of the midterm elections is narrowing its political room to sustain the conflict. @DHoff724 #Trump# #DieselPrices# #Inflation# #Diplomacy# #EconomicPressure# #ForeignPolicy# #PakistanTV#

"An economic D-Day." Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is set to announce new sanctions against Iran as the Trump administration intensifies economic pressure on Tehran. The move comes as the U.S. naval blockade in the Middle East remains in effect, with the administration saying shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has nearly quadrupled in recent days. President Trump says reopening the strait is key to lowering oil prices and removing a major restraint on economic growth. | @LucasFoxNews

.@SecScottBessent: With Operation Economic Outcast, we are squeezing the Iranians like they've never seen. Today, 80-90% of external flights from Iran got shut down as the economic pressure continues to mount.

Iran faces severe economic pressure from a U.S. naval blockade, impacting oil exports and causing currency devaluation. Despite the economic strain, Iran’s leadership shows no signs of yielding to U.S. demands.

Iran will respond forcefully to the US economic pressure, the interior ministry spokesman said on Sunday. “We will mount a strong response to the economic blockade,” Ali Zeinivand said. He also said the government opposed a bill before parliament aimed at countering infiltration by foreign intelligence services
