Trump says more Iran war ‘highly unlikely’: Military experts react
US President Donald Trump has offered his clearest indication yet that intensified diplomacy could avert another major round of fighting with Iran, in the wake of his party’s disastrous midterm election results.
Trump told CNN on Sunday that renewed US military attacks are “highly unlikely” if Tehran makes progress toward an agreement on its nuclear program and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. He also told CBS’ “60 Minutes” that he was “not looking to” escalate the war.
CNN’s Jim Sciutto shares details from his conversation with Trump. Former NATO Supreme Allied Commander James Stavridis, former US Army Major Harrison Mann and former Deputy Director of National Intelligence Beth Sanner break down Trump’s options to end the conflict with Iran.
