Trump says he is unlikely to order Iran attack if talks progress, CNN reports
Trump said new strikes are highly unlikely if nuclear talks advance, but he kept military options open and said U.S. forces are ready.
- On Sunday, November 8, President Donald Trump told CNN it is "highly unlikely" he will order new U.S. strikes on Iran if negotiations on its nuclear program and the Strait of Hormuz progress.
- Qatar-Led mediation efforts remain paused following the November 3 midterm elections, while Iran insists on sanctions relief and ending the U.S. naval blockade before negotiations can advance.
- Trump emphasized U.S. military readiness, noting three aircraft carriers are "fully locked and loaded." He identified 38 bridges inside Iran that forces could "knock down in literally one hour" if talks fail.
- Fuel prices linked to Strait of Hormuz disruption contributed to the Republican Party's November 3 midterm election losses, according to Vice President J.D. Vance. Oil prices have since declined following Trump's diplomatic tone.
- Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned that Iran would "rain down hell" if hostilities resume, emphasizing that diplomacy requires mutual respect. The administration faces a narrowing window to finalize a deal before Congress convenes in January.
