Trump stated that it is highly unlikely to restart strikes against Iran, but mentioned that the U.S. military is prepared for battle
According to Jinshi Data, during a telephone interview with CNN on Sunday local time, U.S. President Trump stated that as long as progress is made in negotiations regarding the Iranian nuclear issue and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, it is "extremely unlikely" that the U.S. will take military action against Iran again. He reiterated this judgment five times during the approximately 20-minute interview and stated that whether to take military action depends on whether Iran signs a very tough agreement.
Trump also mentioned that the U.S. military is prepared for action. He stated that there are three aircraft carriers on standby in the Middle East, one of which has just arrived, and all are in a state of readiness. He also disclosed that power plants and 38 bridges have been listed as potential strike targets, stating that these bridges could be destroyed in about an hour, but he prefers to avoid destroying related infrastructure.
Trump further stated that Iran's air defense equipment has been destroyed, and currently, only about 10% of its missile production capacity and about 15% of its drone production capacity remain. He also mentioned that Iran's inflation rate has reached 301% this year and stated that reaching an agreement remains a priority option, suggesting that further military action is most likely unnecessary.
