Former President Donald Trump stated in an interview on Sunday, August 10th, 2026, that he is "low-keying it" regarding the war with Iran, which is approaching its sixth month. Trump explained, "We are only semi-negotiating with them," indicating a cautious stance toward direct talks. He added that the United States is closely monitoring Iran's economic situation, noting the country's "huge inflation and the fact they have no money."

Trump made these remarks during an interview with Axios, highlighting a strategy focused on economic pressure rather than full-scale engagement.
