Trump Signals Reluctance to Resume Iran Strikes, Keeps US Forces on Alert
US President Donald Trump has said further military action against Iran does not currently appear necessary and predicted that the conflict could end fairly soon, while warning that American forces remain ready to launch new strikes if required. Speaking to reporters at the White House on Monday, Trump said the United States was prepared to resume military operations but was currently maintaining the existing situation.
The U.S. military carried out another round of strikes in Iran on Friday, according to reports published on November 7. KCRA reported that President Donald Trump said the strikes targeted an Iranian air defense system, while NBC News said the military described them as defensive and reported explosions on Qeshm and Hengam islands and near Bandar Abbas. The Hindu said the strikes came as Tehran considered proposals from a mediator, but the reports did not specify the extent of damage or whether there were casualties.
