🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️ — President Trump told CNN that renewed military strikes against Iran are “highly unlikely” if negotiations produce progress on Tehran's nuclear program and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, although he warned that Washington remains prepared to resume operations if necessary. Trump said any agreement would need to be sufficiently strong, claiming Iran is suffering from 301% inflation, severe financial pressure and extensive military damage following eight months of war. “We’re ready for it. I’ve got three aircraft carriers here,” Trump said, noting that U.S. forces remain fully prepared for renewed strikes. Trump once again claimed that Iran's air defense systems have been destroyed and estimated that Tehran retains only 10% of its missile capacity and 15% of its drone capabilities, largely because of damage to weapons factories as a result of this year's U.S.-Israeli strikes. Trump repeated his optimism about reaching an agreement, saying, “They want to make a deal so badly.”
