Trump says he is unlikely to order Iran attack if talks progress, CNN reports
Trump said a strike is unlikely if Iran agrees to a strong deal on its nuclear program and the Strait of Hormuz, repeating the warning five times.
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump said a return to war with Iran is "highly unlikely" if ongoing indirect negotiations produce progress, emphasizing diplomacy as his preferred path forward.
- Diplomatic activity across the Middle East has intensified following the recent midterm elections. On Friday, Trump called Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani to discuss de-escalation, while Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi engaged regional counterparts.
- Trump noted a third American aircraft carrier strike group recently arrived, declaring forces "fully locked and loaded." He assessed Iranian missile capacity at 10% and drone capabilities at 15% of normal levels.
- The president identified 38 Iranian bridges and power plants as potential military targets, though he stated he prefers avoiding such destruction because rebuilding infrastructure would require 10 years.
- Eight months into the stalemate, Iran faces 301% inflation amid frozen assets and oil sales restrictions. Trump repeated that new military action will most likely not be necessary if Tehran reaches a strong agreement.
