Trump says further Iran strikes unlikely if nuclear talks progress

President Donald Trump said Sunday that further US strikes on Iran are "highly unlikely" if ongoing peace talks progress, following Tehran's nuclear proposal delivered via Qatar earlier this week. Trump told CNN in a phone interview that a fresh round of strikes "will not be necessary" if talks advance, though he conditioned this on Iran signing "a very strong agreement." He described Iran as "a failing nation" citing 301% inflation, while noting the US had already hit them militarily and "could finish them off." Trump's softened stance follows the Republican Party's midterm election losses, which Vice President JD Vance attributed partly to the Iran war's impact on American lives. Trump acknowledged the war's role in the election results but defended his actions, saying he "would do it again."
