Trump: Iran attacks unlikely if nuclear deal and Hormuz reopening progress
President Donald Trump said renewed US military action against Iran is highly unlikely if Tehran agrees to a strong nuclear deal and reopens the Strait of Hormuz, while revealing Washington has identified 38 Iranian bridges for potential destruction. In a CNN interview, Trump repeated his assertion five times, citing severe economic sanctions and prior strikes as having degraded Iran, though he noted rebuilding destroyed bridges would take years. Iranian officials rejected any impact from US political changes on their stance. An adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader urged reliance on domestic economic resilience, while an Iranian Armed Forces spokesperson claimed Washington faced strategic defeat and warned any power confronting Iran would collapse.
