Trump says Iran war unlikely if nuclear deal reached, targets ready if talks fail

President Donald Trump stated in a CNN interview that renewed US military action against Iran is highly unlikely if Tehran agrees to a strict nuclear agreement and opens the Strait of Hormuz, though he warned Washington has forces and targets ready if talks fail. Trump said Iran is a "declining state" facing 301% inflation and significant military damage from US strikes, but he did not rule out force if necessary. He noted three US aircraft carriers are positioned near Iran, with 38 bridges and infrastructure identified as potential targets. US military has offered up to $20 million for information on Iran's nuclear program, while diplomatic efforts continue. Trump claimed Iran retains only 10% of its missile capacity and 15% of drone production capabilities, though negotiations have yet to yield substantial progress.
