Trump: War with Iran 'Highly Unlikely' as Tehran Faces Economic Pressure

President Donald Trump said Sunday that a resumption of war with Iran is "highly unlikely," though he warned it depends on Tehran signing a strong agreement. Trump claimed the US hit Iran "really hard" and that economic pressure, including 301% inflation, is forcing Iranian leaders toward a peace deal on American terms. He previously acknowledged the unpopular war contributed to Republican losses in Tuesday's midterm elections. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said peace talks have paused due to shock from the Democratic Party's landslide victory, as mediators assess the political fallout. Iran continues to partly block the Strait of Hormuz, denting oil supplies and raising US gasoline prices.
