Trump threatens economic war as US-Iran peace window expires

Vice President JD Vance described economic pressure as the most effective tool available to the administration.
Why it matters
The US-Iran agreement has expired, leaving a diplomatic vacuum in a region already strained by conflict. This escalation follows efforts by envoy Jared Kushner to revive peace plans in Gaza.
