Trump Says Renewed Iran Conflict Is 'Highly Unlikely' Amid Diplomatic Pause

U.S. President Donald Trump has said a renewed military conflict with Iran is “highly unlikely,” ahead of a meeting with Qatar’s prime minister. Trump said any future U.S. action would depend on whether Tehran agrees to a comprehensive deal, and claimed previous operations had severely weakened Iran’s capabilities. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said regional mediators had temporarily halted travel while countries assessed the fallout from the U.S. midterm election results. He also argued that the results reflected growing public fatigue with prolonged Middle East conflicts. Trump has acknowledged that dissatisfaction with the conflict contributed to Republican losses in Congress. Despite his prediction that fighting is unlikely to resume, Trump said economic pressure would force Iran to accept Washington’s terms. Iranian state media also reported overnight explosions and an attack on Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz.
