continuation of indirect negotiations; Trump says that the US currently has no plans for a ground attack on Iran.
Donald Trump, the President of the United States, announced in his latest statements that the United States currently has no plans for a military ground attack on Iran, but emphasized that the American forces are fully prepared for military action if necessary.
In a telephone interview with the "Financial Times" newspaper, which was published on the morning of Wednesday, November 4, Iran time, he dismissed the speculation about the possibility of a new round of American attacks on Iran after the congressional elections, and said that he was satisfied with the current state of the confrontation with Tehran.
Trump added: "We seem to be getting everything we want."
In response to a question about the signs given by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the possibility of a ground attack on Iran in the coming days, the US President said: "I am ready, we are ready. If necessary, we are fully prepared and militantly armed, but perhaps there is no reason for that."
The mid-term elections of the US Congress were held on Tuesday, November 3, and the results indicate the victory of the Democrats, and many American media reported that this party took control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
These elections were held in a situation where, during the last few weeks, several reports were published about the possibility of resuming large-scale US attacks on Iran after the end of the votes. The war with Iran and the increase in fuel prices and the cost of living were also important issues in the election contests.
In the same context, Mohammad Bakr Ghalibaf, chairman of the Salami Council, who is the head of the negotiating team of the Islamic Republic of Iran with the USA, this morning (Wednesday) called the initial results of the American elections and the possibility that the Democrats will control the House of Representatives and the Senate as "no Americans for war". Trump's new statements came hours after he approved the limited ground attack by US forces on Iran's air defense facilities on Kashem Island in an interview with Fox News.
