Trump says return to war with Iran 'highly unlikely' as long as sides continue negotiations
Key Points:
- President Trump stated it is "highly unlikely" the US will resume war with Iran as long as nuclear program talks continue to progress and a strong agreement is signed.
- Trump cited Iran's severe economic struggles, including 301% inflation, and military pressure as reasons why further military action may not be necessary.
- He expressed confidence that Iran is "withering away financially" and that the US has already weakened them militarily.
- Despite optimism about negotiations, the US continues to enforce a blockade aimed at economically crippling Iran.
- Trump had previously indicated military action against Iran was unlikely before the midterm elections but now appears more hopeful about diplomatic progress.
