Trump: U.S. Currently Has No Immediate Plan to Strike Iran

TechFlow reported on November 4, citing Jin10 Data, that the Financial Times said Trump stated the U.S. currently has no immediate plan to strike Iran and downplayed speculation that it was preparing to escalate the conflict with Iran after the midterm elections.

Trump said in an interview on Tuesday local time that he was satisfied with the current stalemate but added that he was prepared to take further action if necessary. In response to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu hinting that an attack could occur later this week, Trump said, “I am ready, we are ready. If action is needed, we can strike at any time, but it may not be necessary at all.”

Trump claimed that energy prices would fall sharply 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 strangling Tehran’s economy. He also said he would not share any attack plans in advance, but indirect talks with Iran on the nuclear issue were ongoing.
