Trump says Iran war nearly over, no more strikes needed for now

bhaskar.com (undefined) —

US President Donald Trump said the war with Iran is nearly over, stating no further strikes are needed for now, though the US military remains prepared for action. Trump made the remarks Monday after meeting Qatar's Prime Minister, saying Iran's leadership has been dismantled and the US wants to ensure its nuclear program is neutralized long-term. He signaled a retreat from threats of renewed attacks if negotiations progress. The comments come after US midterm elections where Republicans lost control of Congress, with war fatigue a voter issue. Iran's foreign minister said Tehran would reopen the Strait of Hormuz within two days if the US ends the war on all fronts.
