8:36Now PlayingPresident Trump is now signaling an emphasis on economic pressure on Iran, as opposed to ordering a new military offensive, as the war continues into its sixth month. The president told AXIOS yesterday quote, "We are low keying it. We are only semi-negotiating with them. We are just watching Iran with its huge inflation and the fact they have no money.” Trump’s comments come amid a new, sweeping list of demands from Tehran on reopening the Strait of Hormuz. MS NOW’s Marc Polymeropoulos joins Way Too Early to break down the latest with Iran, along with analysis on Israel rejecting the Gaza peace plan and reports that the U.S. is forming a Cuba Task Force.
