OSINTdefender(@sentdefender):While speaking in the Oval Office to reporters today, U.S. President Donald J. Trump told reporters that he currently has no interest in talking to Iran, harped on the damage done to their forces, and doubled down on the effectiveness of the new “Economic D-Day” sanctions packages recently announced by the U.S. Treasury. The administration has shifted from a kinetic approach to significantly upscaled economic coercive measures in recent weeks, as efforts at diplomacy repeatedly failed to rectify the primary point of contention between Iran and the U.S., the administration of the Strait of Hormuz.
