Trump to FT: No New Mass Strikes on Iran Planned, 'We Get What We Want'

President Donald Trump stated there are no current plans for new large-scale airstrikes against Iran, expressing satisfaction with the confrontation's progress. He said Washington is close to achieving its goals, without ruling out future military operations. In a phone interview with the Financial Times on Tuesday, during US midterm elections, Trump said "it seems we are getting everything we want." The remarks followed limited US strikes on Iranian targets near the Strait of Hormuz, described as defensive against anti-aircraft missile forces. Washington maintains openness to a diplomatic resolution, with Iran's nuclear program and navigation security in the Strait remaining central issues. Trump's timing appeared aimed at downplaying major military action while keeping options open.
