Trump's second term has adopted a sustained dual military and economic pressure strategy on Iran, publicly characterizing it as "big trouble" as a continuation of maximizing pressure tactics aimed at forcing Tehran to compromise on nuclear and regional influence.
In terms of capital pathways, resources focus on precise strikes and sanctions enforcement, motivated by the goal of weakening the Iranian regime's survival capacity while avoiding a full ground war, consuming the opponent through asymmetric costs.
Similar cases can be seen in Trump's first term's maximum pressure campaign, as well as the historical cycle of U.S. sanctions and limited strikes against Iran; currently, it is in a phase of prolonged conflict, alternating between negotiations and military actions.
Structural judgment belongs to geopolitical games: public pressure alters negotiation expectations, with the mechanism being to convert military advantages into political leverage, forcing the opponent to recalculate benefits under survival pressure.
