President Trump revealed Sunday it is “highly unlikely” that the US will resume the war in Iran as long as talks over the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program continue to make progress.
“It depends on whether or not they sign a very strong agreement,” Trump told during a phone interview. “The answer is highly unlikely it’s going to be necessary. They’re a failing nation. It just came out, you saw this year, 301% inflation. Highly unlikely it will be necessary.”
“So it’s highly unlikely I’ll have to,” he went on. “They’re withering away financially. We’ve hit them militarily. We could finish them off.”

What compels him to make these pronouncements?
No “war” but KEEP THE 100% SEA BLOCKADE GOING…. and “hobble” the land corridors.
We’ve hit them militarily. We could finish them off”
Ugh if you had months ago we would not be watching the end of our country. Trump seems to have become untethered.
b-but two weeks to the bomb!
Let the feckless and backstabbing Arab oil states who sabotaged the Trump team war effort defend themselves and protect their own oil fields .
Let the Saudis deal with the Houthis
I really want to watch the spectacle of Democrats trying to sabotage Trump's blockade to avoid military action and fighting in the Middle East.
Trump made a huge mistake in ending the military campaign too soon but he is on the right path with the blockade and economic isolation.
It's a slow, patient process but it's working
The posture has been the same for months. I’m not entirely sure what “war” anyone is talking about. There was less than 3 months of a “war” This was like Iraq’s death counter and like the COVID death counter. The media absolutely made it worst and no one pushed back. There has been a blockade for months and Iran can’t break the blockade (or they would have done so). Iran is not firing missiles daily. All they are doing is working with the media to make Trump look bad. That is their success and they couldn’t have it without the help of the media.
Never say never.
The strategy is to make them bleed out. That takes time.
So many sourpusses here…
If anybody believes this backflipping crap out of Trump by now they’re too dumb to be here.
Re: two weeks to the bomb.
Netanyahu was saying that 20 years ago. That’s a long two weeks!
The whole thing is insane, but some people are making gobs of money off of it. Not to mention the manipulation of markets.
If I live long enough I will check back in 20 years to see if they’re still two weeks away from the bomb.
Trump is absolutely wedded to the notion he can make a “deal” even with those who have no interest in one, whether it’s the mullahs, Putin, or Xi. He’s turned into a braggadocious Jimmy Carter. Miller should tell him to stick a sock in it.
How do you negotiate with liars...???
Yet we are attacking Iran and have been the last few days.
There are no negotiations and will not be until Trump honors the MOU he signed back in July.
His staff just helped him up off the mat from the punch the midterm results hit him with.
“Trump says return to war with Iran ‘highly unlikely’ as sides continue negotiations”. Does this mean I AM going to get my 5K stimulus check after all?
Iran has 301% inflation and no navy no air planes and they beg the world to back their insane logic it’s a slow death of a country.
Until the people of Iran eliminate it’s leaders no change will happen.
I’m afraid this mentality will make him cut deals with the rats. We are expecting a series of vetoes for terrible bills. I have real doubts about that now.
Why not?
In a way the Iranian rulers can say most of that about us. Just stoically wait out the Trump years and watch for a withdrawal of US forces soon.
“Look at that inflation” and to them the decisive overthrow of the House, Senate and key governors shows a failing nation.
Iranians and Dem/Socialists are celebrating.
