Trump says Iran strikes unlikely if talks yield strong deal

sbs.com.au —

President Donald Trump said he is "highly unlikely" to order more strikes on Iran if talks progress toward a "very strong agreement," according to a CNN phone interview. Trump's comments come a week after his stance on the Iran war contributed to poor midterm results for Republicans. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said peace talks were paused while assessing the shock of the Democratic Party's landslide victory. Both nations have continued striking vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, restricting energy exports. Iran reported explosions in southern Iran on Saturday, possibly from its own military activity, while the US said it disabled a vessel in the Gulf of Oman.
