• The Trump administration has shifted toward economic pressure, including planned secondary sanctions, as it pulls back from further major military escalation.
• Experts told CNBC the strategy is unlikely to force Iran to capitulate quickly, while continued attacks around the Strait of Hormuz keep escalation risks high.
