Trump Declares Iran War Over, No Further Attacks Planned

President Donald Trump announced that the war with Iran is over, stating there is no longer any intention to attack, following a meeting with Qatar's Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani. Trump said Iran has been largely "incapacitated" militarily and the U.S. is committed to a permanent solution to neutralize Iran's nuclear program. The announcement follows the Republican Party's loss of Congress in the midterm elections, partly attributed to fuel price spikes from the eight-month conflict. Trump discussed maintaining the naval blockade and Operation Iron Gate with Gulf leaders, who agree Iran must not obtain nuclear weapons. He noted that if negotiations progress, further strikes are unlikely, though 38 bridges remain identified as potential targets.
