Trump: The US currently has no plans to strike Iran immediately.

BlockBeats news, November 4 - According to the Financial Times, Trump stated that the U.S. currently has no immediate plans to strike Iran. He downplayed speculation about preparations to escalate conflict with Iran after the midterm elections. In an interview with the Financial Times on Tuesday local time, Trump hinted that he is satisfied with the current stalemate with Iran, though he also said he is prepared for further warfare if necessary. In a six-minute phone interview, Trump said: "We seem to be getting everything we want." When asked about Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's strong hint that an attack would be launched later this week, Trump said: "I'm ready, we're ready. If action is needed, we can strike at any time, but perhaps it won't be necessary at all."

Trump claimed that energy prices will drop significantly after the midterm elections, that more oil is currently passing through the Strait of Hormuz than before the war, and that the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports is successfully strangling Tehran's economy. Trump said: "This is a perfect situation." Trump emphasized that he would not share any attack plans in advance, but said indirect negotiations with Iran on nuclear issues are continuing.
