Trump rules out fresh Iran strike as US seeks nuclear deal

US President Donald Trump has said the United States will hold back from launching another attack on Iran, at least for now, provided a swift agreement can be reached to halt Tehran’s nuclear ambitions and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Trump made the comments on Sunday, signalling a potential shift towards diplomatic negotiations rather than military escalation with Iran. The statement comes amid heightened tensions in the Middle East and represents a conditional pause in military action, dependent on Iran’s willingness to engage in talks over its nuclear programme. The Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway through which much of the world’s oil passes, has been a flashpoint in US-Iran relations, with Tehran threatening to close it in response to American pressure. Trump’s comments suggest the administration is open to resolving the dispute through negotiation if Iran demonstrates willingness to curtail its nuclear development and maintain international shipping routes.
