🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️ — President Trump to CNN on Iran: We have 38 bridges in our site that we can knock down in literally one hour. They’ll all be down. I don’t want to do that because essentially, it’ll take 10 years to rebuild them. I don’t like ripping down bridges. And the hardest thing to build is a bridge. It takes years, and I’m a good builder.

🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️ — 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.”

🇸🇦🇾🇪⚡️ — A local correspondent in Saudi Arabia informs Tabz that there is discontent regarding the KSA-Ansarallah war among Saudi citizens they have spoken to, including employees in the Saudi military and interior ministry, due to the damages imposed on Saudi Arabia, the lack of an end goal in the conflict, and a belief that Saudi Arabia should not be involved in "aiding" other countries. Recent reversals in development and economic growth, combined with losses in the war against Ansarallah, are causing an increasing belief that the "Vision 2030" project may be a failure.
