Maximum Pressure

Trump's maximum pressure campaign against Iran is strategically correct — but financial pain at home is eroding the domestic will to see it through. Closing that gap is now the central challenge of the policy.

Every barrel of Iranian oil that reaches market funds the regime's terror apparatus. Cutting off that revenue isn't economic policy — it's national security.
