Times of Israel: Trump seeks to sanction Tehran into submission rather than renew MOU

According to a report by the Times of Israel, US President Donald Trump is pursuing a new strategy to pressure Iran, focusing on strict sanctions rather than renewing previous memorandums of understanding. Informed sources state that Washington is currently not engaged in any talks with Tehran. Reports further suggest that the US administration may impose new sanctions on Chinese banks that conduct business with Iran. Amid these developments, the Iranian Foreign Minister hosted a Qatari diplomat to discuss security in the Strait of Hormuz.
