Trump says he does not know if Iran is going to 'give up yet'
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump told reporters at the White House he does not know if Iran will "give up yet" in its war against the U.S., though he insisted the regime is "doing very poorly."
- The seven-month conflict, which began February 28, has triggered a U.S. naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and severe sanctions, causing Iran's currency to hit new lows with traders exchanging more than 2.5 million rials to the U.S. dollar.

- Rising oil prices from the blockade have become a major issue for the Republican Party ahead of the November midterm elections, as experts note the distinct U.S. posture toward Iran versus North Korea reflects North Korea's existing nuclear capabilities.
