Iran: Trump Says New Strikes Are “Very Unlikely” Under One Condition

Donald Trump said on November 8 that a new US offensive against Iran was unlikely if Tehran signed a “very strong” nuclear agreement and reopened the Strait of Hormuz. He claimed Iran retained only about 10% of its missile capabilities and 15% of its drones, while warning that the United States was ready to act and citing three aircraft carriers deployed in the region. Tehran said in early November that it was willing to reopen the strait within two days under certain conditions, with Oman’s support, but the two sides remain at odds over the nuclear issue.
