Trump says America could hit Iran hard or let its economy collapse
The US president claimed in a phone interview that America completely controls Iran's frozen money. He brushed off concerns about low weapon stockpiles, blaming his predecessor Joe Biden for giving $300 billion in munitions to Ukraine. Despite his comments, officials in Pakistan said on Tuesday that Washington and Tehran are nearing an agreement to end the war that started in February.
