US shifts Iran strategy to sanctions after Rubio briefs allies

svd.se (Swedish)

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has informed international counterparts that the US plans no further attacks on Iran, according to Axios. The focus is shifting to economic sanctions announced Monday evening Swedish time. The reported shift comes amid ongoing US military operations, including a Tuesday attack on a boat in the Caribbean Sea that killed four people. Since the administration began its crackdown on "narco-terrorists," at least 227 people have died in 68 attacks. The sanctions represent a strategic pivot in US policy toward Iran, moving from military action to economic pressure. No official confirmation of the reported shift has been provided by the State Department.
