THOUGHTS: Something has changed in the U.S. strategy toward Iran.

If you look closely at the latest threats and the economic campaign. What is missing are specific demands. The U.S. is no longer publicly saying: do this, give up that, and we will relieve the pressure.

Trump is now saying he is not trying to force Iran back to the negotiating table. He is openly asking when the Iranian people will rise up and fight.

At the same time, the economic noose is tightening. Shipping, banking, oil, aviation, digital assets, everything and anyone helping the regime can be targeted. The squeeze is getting
tighter almost every day… In literally one one week Irans currency lost 10% of its value.

My read is that the U.S. is moving away from trying to negotiate a better deal and toward something much more ambitious: a slow burn strategy designed to collapse the Islamic Republic until the system can no longer sustain itself.

I have said from the beginning that the economic operation is more dangerous to the regime than another round of bombing.

But there is another side to this. Ordinary Iranians will suffer enormously under this pressure. I strongly believe many Iranians are willing to pay that price if it means the job finally gets done. If the U.S. is deliberately creating conditions that could bring down the regime, it cannot tighten the noose halfway and then reverse course. No 80% done, none of that, this time, it has to go all the way.

No Pakistan, no Qatar calls, economic pressure until the end.
