Trump calls new Iran strike 'highly unlikely' but warns US could 'end them'

US President Donald Trump said Sunday it is "highly unlikely" he will order new military strikes against Iran, while warning that US forces could "end them" if necessary. Trump stated in a CNN interview that further action depends on Iran signing a "very strong agreement" on its nuclear program and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. He noted three fully equipped aircraft carriers are positioned in the region and that 38 Iranian bridges have been identified as potential targets, though he prefers not to destroy infrastructure requiring a decade to rebuild. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said negotiations with the US have stalled due to the "shock" from Tuesday's midterm election results, urging patience until conditions improve. The conflict remains at an impasse eight months in, with Iran continuing to attack tankers in the Strait of Hormuz.
