Trump Says Iran War's 'Militarily' over, but US 'Locked and Loaded'
Trump says the military phase is nearly over as U.S. forces keep limited strikes ready and insist Iran must not get a nuclear weapon.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump declared the war in Iran "militarily is effectively over" during a White House briefing, stating the administration is maintaining the status quo while pursuing a long-term agreement.
- Trump's comments contrast with aggressive rhetoric from recent weeks, when he warned that Iran would soon "get the hammer" if negotiations stalled amid concerns over the eight-month-old conflict's global impact.
- The United States military conducted at least two strikes on Iranian air defenses recently and disabled a commercial ship Saturday attempting to breach the naval blockade on Iranian ports.
- In a CNN phone interview on Sunday, Trump said further strikes were "highly unlikely it's going to be necessary" if Iran signs a "strong agreement," citing positive momentum in negotiations.
- With the United States "locked and loaded," Trump said officials remain prepared to respond if developments in the Middle East change, while preventing Iran from pursuing a nuclear weapon remains non-negotiable.
