US President Trump Claims Iran is 'Devastated' Amid New Sanctions

Washington DC. US President Donald Trump said on Monday that Iran is 'devastated' economically, socially, and politically. As Washington prepares to announce details of a new economic pressure campaign against Tehran, Tehran has ridiculed it as an admission of defeat by the US.

Both sides are in a stalemate after nearly 6 months of war. Peace talks are stalled, Iran has kept the vital Strait of Hormuz closed, and Washington has maintained naval sanctions against Iran.
