President Donald Trump, asked Wednesday about overnight reports regarding a possible return to fighting with Iran, said he thinks Iran is okay so far. The remark, his latest on the emerging US-Iran framework, follows weeks of shifting pronouncements from Trump on the status of the standoff.
President Donald Trump was asked Wednesday afternoon about overnight reports suggesting a possible return to hostilities with Iran. In a brief comment, Trump said, "I think Iran is okay so far," without elaborating further.
Trump's latest remark follows a string of recent statements on the evolving US-Iran framework. Earlier this month, Trump stated that the war with Iran is concluded and that a final accord is being drafted, while also announcing a policy of nightly strikes on Iran until a deal is reached. The comments have fluctuated between assertions of progress and threats of sustained military action.
As The Zioneer has reported, Trump has repeatedly expressed confidence in the diplomatic track, stating as recently as late June that as long as Iran respects the US, there will be no problems. Wednesday's comment appears to maintain that measured tone, though Trump avoided specifying any concrete timeline or terms.
