United States President, Donald Trump, has said renewed military action against Iran is highly unlikely, provided ongoing negotiations over Tehran’s nuclear programme and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz make progress.
Trump made the remarks during a telephone interview with CNN on Sunday, expressing hope that diplomatic efforts would prevent another round of military strikes.
According to him, the possibility of renewed attacks would depend largely on whether Iran agrees to a strong deal with Washington.
“It depends on whether or not they sign a very strong agreement. The answer is highly unlikely it’s going to be necessary,” Trump said.
However, the US president warned that American forces remained prepared to resume military operations if negotiations failed.
He disclosed that Washington had identified potential infrastructure targets in Iran, including 38 bridges that could be destroyed within an hour if military action became necessary.
Trump also claimed that Iran’s military capabilities had been significantly weakened by previous American and Israeli attacks.
His comments came amid renewed diplomatic efforts by regional countries, including Qatar and Pakistan, to secure an agreement between Washington and Tehran.
Trump was also scheduled to meet Qatar’s Prime Minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, at the White House on Monday to discuss the situation.
Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, suggested that diplomatic discussions had slowed following the political developments surrounding the recent United States midterm elections.
The conflict, which began with US-Israeli strikes against Iran in February, has disrupted regional security and affected global energy supplies, particularly shipping activities around the strategically important Strait of Hormuz.
Despite Trump’s expression of optimism about negotiations, tensions remain between both countries, with the possibility of renewed military action dependent on the outcome of diplomatic discussions.
