Trump doubts US will need to resume Iran strikes

interfax.ru (Russian) —

US President Donald Trump said it is unlikely the US will need to resume strikes on Iran, citing Tehran's difficult position and desire for an agreement. In a CNN interview, Trump described Iran as a "failing nation" whose authorities "very much want to reach a deal." He noted the US military has prepared plans for potential strikes on Iranian infrastructure, including 38 bridges, but expressed reluctance to destroy it. Trump also claimed Iran has almost no air defense systems left. Reports indicate US administration officials are debating whether to resume strikes before January, when Republicans will lose their Congressional majority.
