US intensifies pressure on Iran via sanctions and military movements
The United States has intensified its pressure on Iran through both financial and military measures. The US Treasury Department warned foreign financial institutions that continuing to transact with sanctioned Iranian banks could lead to US sanctions, aiming to restrict Tehran's ability to bypass existing restrictions.
On the diplomatic front, Vice President JD Vance expressed readiness for a deal but emphasized that Iran must demonstrate flexibility by reducing its nuclear enrichment capacity, specifically questioning the need for 60 percent enriched fuel. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump stated that oil deliveries are being maintained at pre-war levels.
In response to intelligence warnings regarding potential Iranian drone attacks, the US has relocated approximately a dozen B-1 bombers from the United Kingdom. The move follows concerns that large groups of low-cost drones could be used to target high-value military assets, similar to recent combat patterns observed in other conflicts.
