Trump says Iran war unlikely if nuclear talks progress

jpost.com —

US President Donald Trump said Sunday that a return to war with Iran is "highly unlikely" if ongoing indirect negotiations produce progress, though he did not rule out military action. Trump told CNN that the outcome depends on whether Iran signs "a very strong agreement," adding that US forces are prepared to strike if necessary. He noted a third aircraft carrier strike group has arrived in the region. The president said Washington has identified potential targets inside Iran, including infrastructure such as power plants and bridges, claiming 38 bridges could be destroyed within an hour.
