The Heat: US Iran conflict | Tehran pushes back against Trump's economic threats

Iran is pushing back against Washington's latest pressure campaign, accusing the United States of waging economic and psychological warfare and vowing to withstand what it calls "unjust sanctions." The response follows President Donald Trump's announcement of an unprecedented new economic offensive against Tehran. With a 60-day diplomatic window now expired and the conflict nearing six months, what does this latest escalation mean for the region – and is there still a path back to diplomacy? #iran #us #economy #threat #heat
