Trump Leaves Door Open on New Iran Strikes

br.de (German) —

US President Donald Trump has declined to rule out future US military strikes against Iran, stating there are currently no immediate attack plans. He suggested the US is getting what it wants from Tehran, though US forces remain ready for action. Trump made the comments in a Financial Times interview following US midterm elections, dismissing media speculation about new attacks. Iran's parliamentary speaker interpreted the US election results as a public rejection of war, while a majority of US voters view the Iran deployment as a mistake. The situation follows recent US strikes on Iranian targets near the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran says destroyed four tankers on mines. Qatar is mediating between the parties, and Iran reports intensive indirect talks with Washington to prevent renewed conflict.
