Trump: No New Iran Strikes Expected While Talks Advance

swissinfo.ch (Arabic) —

US President Donald Trump said Sunday it is highly unlikely he will order new attacks on Iran as long as negotiations to end the conflict progress, amid reports of shipping attacks in or near the Strait of Hormuz. Trump told CNN that whether strikes occur depends on Iran signing a very good agreement, adding that if attacks resume, the US has identified potential infrastructure targets including 38 bridges. Both countries reported attacks on cargo ships in the strategic waterway. Iranian media reported explosions in southern Iran, including Qeshm Island, but officials did not confirm missile strikes. The US said its air force disabled a vessel in the Gulf of Oman, while Iran reported tankers hit by mines.
