Trump Says War with Iran Unlikely if Talks Move Forward
President Trump tells the nation that continued negotiations over Iran's nuclear program and the Strait of Hormuz could keep the United States out of conflict.
President Trump told CNN’s Jim Sciutto that a war with Iran is 'highly unlikely' as long as talks over Iran’s nuclear program make progress, and he added that attacks would also be 'highly unlikely' if a very strong agreement is reached.
The ongoing negotiations between the United States and Iran, reported by multiple outlets, focus on Tehran’s nuclear program and the strategic Strait of Hormuz, underscoring the importance of diplomatic channels.
For many voters this signals that a diplomatic path, rather than military action, is being pursued.
