ALBAWABA – U.S. President Donald Trump revealed that the U.S. administration is considering three different scenarios for the war with Iran amid a stall in peace talks and the continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump pointed out on Tuesday that Washington is in talks with Iranians, but he accused its leadership of stalling and using “devious” tactics. The President described the Iranian negotiators as “very cunning,” noting that they “sometimes agree to understandings and then deny them publicly later.”
Axios quoted Trump as saying, “We’re handling it calmly. We’re conducting limited negotiations with them. We’re simply observing Iran, with its massive economic inflation and the fact that it has no money.”
He added, “It will be resolved. Things always get resolved. It’s like a game of chess.”

Trump’s three war scenarios with Iran:
As the war entered its sixth month, both sides exchanged accusations of stalling in the Pakistan-led negotiations, amid reports that Trump had sent a revised draft agreement with stricter terms to Tehran.
Speaking to Real America Voice, the president of the U.S. revealed three strategies Washington is adopting to deal with Tehran: First, close monitoring and continuous assessment of the internal situation; second, the direct military operation, which includes “hitting them very hard”; and third, the economic pressure that the administration will continue regardless of the course of negotiations.
