Trump: There is no need for a military strike against Iran right now

On Monday, he expressed hope that the conflict with Tehran would end in the near future and stressed that Washington remains ready to take military action.


According to Reuters, Trump made these remarks after meeting with Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, Qatar’s prime minister and foreign minister, in Washington. He said Qatar and Saudi Arabia want a peaceful resolution to the conflict with Iran.


The Qatari prime minister also described his talks with Trump and US Vice President JD Vance about the regional situation as positive. Trump also announced that Iran was discussed in detail during the meeting and that Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Kuwait prefer the current situation, including the naval blockade of Iran, to continue.


According to Al Jazeera, the Qatari prime minister conveyed Iran’s proposal to Washington for consideration following his recent visit to Tehran. The proposal includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz, ending the US naval blockade and releasing some of Iran’s frozen assets, and could pave the way for negotiations over Iran’s enriched uranium stockpiles. Washington has neither accepted nor rejected the proposal so far.


Trump said the likelihood of attacks resuming under current conditions was low and said the war was “effectively over” militarily, but did not guarantee its definitive end. He stressed that the naval blockade of Iran would continue and that the US hoped to reach an agreement; however, if necessary, Washington would take “very serious action.” Trump also announced the deployment of another aircraft carrier to the Middle East, which will bring the number of US aircraft carriers in the region to three.


The US president claimed that about 85 percent of Iran’s missile and drone production capacity had been destroyed, although Tehran can still produce a limited number of these weapons. He again said Washington’s main objective is to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, and that the US wants to ensure its allies’ security and prevent Iran from acquiring such a weapon in the long term before the conflict ends.



Donald Trump, the US president, says a military attack on Iran is not necessary under current conditions, but US forces are ready to resume operations if the situation changes.
