On August 25, local time, we learned that an American official and another person familiar with the matter revealed that US Secretary of State Rubio recently told several allied diplomats that the US “currently” will not take the initiative to launch a new round of military attacks on Iran, but will instead shift its focus to other means of pressure. A US official said that Rubio made it clear that the US currently has no plans to resume large-scale military operations, but if Iran launches an attack first, the US side has not ruled out the possibility of carrying out another attack. Another US official said that it is expected that the policy will be maintained at least until after the midterm elections, at which time it will not be ruled out to reconsider military action. According to reports, the Trump administration's current policy on Iraq mainly includes: temporarily avoiding new military action against Iran; increasing pressure on Iran's economy through the US maritime blockade and new Treasury Department sanctions; and increasing the amount of oil transported to the global market through the Strait of Hormuz as much as possible.
