Washington, Oct 26: US President Donald Trump has temporarily ruled out immediate military strikes against Iran, saying Washington has no plans to launch an attack for now.
However, Trump indicated that military action remains an option as his administration considers whether to resolve the dispute through an agreement or use force to “finish the job.”
His latest remarks suggest that the immediate threat of an American attack has eased. However, the possibility of future military action or diplomatic negotiations remains open.
Iran, meanwhile, said diplomatic communications with the United States were continuing through intermediaries despite the suspension of direct talks.
Tehran also rejected conditions imposed by Washington, indicating that major differences remain between the two countries.
