Trump: No 'Immediate' Plans to Strike Iran

skynewsarabia.com (Arabic) —

US President Donald Trump said the United States has no "immediate" plans to strike Iran, downplaying speculation of escalation following the midterm elections. In a Tuesday interview with the Financial Times, Trump expressed satisfaction with the current confrontation, stating "it seems we are getting everything we want," while noting readiness for further attacks "if necessary." He confirmed indirect negotiations with Iran over its 400 kilograms of enriched uranium stockpile. Trump claimed oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz exceed pre-war levels and that the US blockade is strangling Iran's economy, though US gasoline prices hit a record average Tuesday. Brent crude fell over $10 to about $104 per barrel on hopes of a breakthrough.
