US President Donald Trump said on Sunday that it is “highly unlikely” that the US will return to war with Iran if progress is made in ongoing indirect negotiations.
“It depends on whether or not they sign a very strong agreement,” Trump said during an interview with CNN. “The answer is highly unlikely [that] it’s going to be necessary… I would if necessary, but we hit them really hard.”
Trump emphasized that American military forces are ready to act against Iran if he does decide to order strikes, saying that a third “fully locked and loaded” US aircraft carrier strike group recently arrived in the region.
