US prepares for resumption of war against Iran
US House Speaker Mike Johnson announced preparations for a new phase of war with Iran, which could begin soon. The US administration is intensifying economic pressure on Tehran, using it as its main tool. Vice President JD Vance noted that Iran's ability to use the Strait of Hormuz has diminished. Iran is adjusting its military strategy toward offensive operations.
US House Speaker Mike Johnson stated that the United States is preparing to resume hostilities against Iran, which could begin in the near future. In an interview with Fox News, he noted that Iranians cannot be trusted during negotiations and that preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons has been the goal of all previous administrations, which, he said, President Trump achieved. The US administration believes the confrontation has entered a new phase, where the main tool is increased economic pressure. Vice President JD Vance called this approach the most effective lever, noting that Tehran's ability to use the Strait of Hormuz to pressure the global economy has significantly diminished. According to him, Iran must decide whether it is willing to tolerate increased restrictions or intends to restore relations with the West. Earlier, "Cursor" reported that amid declining oil exports, Iran is adjusting its military strategy, shifting focus from defense to more active offensive operations. It was also reported that former Iranian President Mohammad Khatami warned of a worsening situation if Tehran does not reach an agreement with Trump to end hostilities.
