Trump Says War With Iran Highly Unlikely if Nuclear Deal Signed

President Donald Trump stated on Sunday that a return to war with Iran is highly unlikely, provided that negotiations regarding the Islamic Republic's nuclear program continue to progress. He noted that the final decision depends on whether Iran signs a "very strong agreement," while characterizing the adversary as a "failing nation" that is withering away financially under 301% inflation.

Trump has maintained an economic blockade intended to cripple Iran but expressed optimism regarding current diplomatic progress. He suggested that the necessity of military action is unlikely given the current trajectory of negotiations.

In response to the president's stance, Democrats have pledged to pass a resolution in January to restrict the president's authority to wage war against Iran. This move is planned for when the party retakes control of Congress.
