United States President Donald Trump says that if the negotiations on Iran's nuclear program and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz progress, it is "very unlikely" that he will be forced to order the renewal of the war with Iran.
He repeated this position "five times" during an interview with CNN.
Mr. Trump said in this interview that it depends on whether "they sign a firm agreement or not." But at the same time he added: "If necessary, I will do it, but we hurt them a lot."
Mr. Trump, who has previously expressed different positions regarding his desire to end the war, emphasized in this interview that American forces in the region are in a state of readiness and can resume attacks if ordered.
According to him, "We are ready for it. We have three aircraft carriers in this area. Another ship has just arrived in the area. "We have three ships ready and fully equipped for operation."
