## Resource

Trump fires back at the New York Times, declaring Iran’s military and economy in ruins while America thrives—highlighting crippled forces, soaring inflation, unpaid soldiers, open Strait of Hormuz, and booming U.S. markets. But the Times counters: Iran’s nuclear program is damaged but not destroyed, missile threats remain, leadership is intact, and regional conflicts persist. Meanwhile, Iran’s recent deal unlocks sanctions relief and frozen assets, framed as a win by Tehran, while U.S. officials like VP Vance argue economic leverage is worth the risk to reshape Iran’s behavior.
