Iran-Krieg: Trump: Neue Angriffe im Iran bei Gesprächen unwahrscheinlich

President Donald Trump has described large-scale U.S. attacks on Iran as "highly unlikely" as long as progress is made in negotiations, according to a CNN telephone interview. Trump stated that the outcome depends on whether Iran signs a comprehensive agreement or not. However, he emphasized that military action could be ordered if necessary.

He also expressed his belief that Iran is financially collapsing due to economic troubles. In recent weeks, media reports suggested that Trump might order a resumption of large-scale combat actions after the U.S. parliamentary elections, as his Republican Party lost control of both houses of Congress. The popularity of a U.S. war in Iran is a significant factor in the Democratic Party's victory, as rising gasoline prices, largely attributed to the Iran war, were a crucial issue during the election.

Additionally, the conflict is unpopular among some Republicans who see Trump's election promises as broken, as they believe the U.S. should not enter new wars. After the election debacle, Trump claimed he did not regret the war, stating that Iran must not possess nuclear weapons. Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghtsch, appealed to the U.S. over the weekend via a Telegram post, urging continued pursuit of a negotiation-based solution based on an Iranian proposal.
