Trump says US is 'not negotiating' with Iran, something will happen 'fairly soon'
President Donald Trump said the US is not currently negotiating with Iran and that "something one way or the other" will happen "fairly soon," amid reports that US and Israeli militaries have drawn up plans for renewed strikes after the Nov. 3 midterms.
President Donald Trump said on Wednesday, Oct. 21, that the United States is not currently negotiating with Iran, and that an outcome will come "fairly soon."
"No, I think we're not negotiating," Trump told reporters after returning from a rally in South Carolina. "We are going to have something one way or the other that'll happen fairly soon." Asked about timing, he added: "Most people seem to think it's after the election, and we're going to see what happens."
At the rally, Trump said the war "will end very soon," adding: "We could leave now, but we want to make sure it lasts for a long time." He said the US had defeated Iran militarily and financially and that Tehran would "never have a nuclear weapon."
Reported strike plans
The New York Times reported that US and Israeli militaries have drawn up plans for a short, intense campaign of renewed strikes on Iran after the Nov. 3 midterm elections, possibly lasting about three days and targeting energy infrastructure, nuclear facilities and missile and drone stocks. According to the report, Trump has not approved the plans. A White House official told the paper the administration does not comment on military plans "that may or may not exist."
The US and Israel launched the war on Iran on Feb. 28. A memorandum of understanding signed in June between Washington and Tehran, mediated by Pakistan and Qatar, has stalled amid disputes including over navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
