- The Trump administration will increase economic pressure on Iran via expanded sanctions.
- US policy aims to stabilize the Strait of Hormuz and maintain global oil flow.

- A US-Saudi civilian nuclear deal is linked to Saudi recognition of Israel under the Abraham Accords.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio recently informed several international counterparts that the United States does not currently plan to initiate new military strikes against Iran. Instead, the Trump administration intends to focus on increasing economic pressure through expanded sanctions and maintaining stability in the Strait of Hormuz to ensure global oil supply. This policy approach is expected to remain in place at least until after the US midterm elections in November, when the possibility of renewed military action might be reconsidered.
The announcement follows ongoing tensions in the region, including Israeli Defense Forces operations in southwestern Syria near the village of Jamla and reported Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon. Meanwhile, Iran has threatened to retaliate with new measures against US interests if the latest sanctions are implemented. Additionally, the Trump administration has submitted a civilian nuclear cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia to Congress, contingent on Riyadh joining the Abraham Accords and recognizing Israel.
These developments reflect a complex regional dynamic involving US diplomatic and military strategies aimed at containing Iran while managing broader Middle East security and energy concerns.
