Trump Says Resuming Strikes on Iran Is ‘Highly Unlikely’

US President Donald Trump

US President Donald Trump has said it is “highly unlikely” that the United States will need to resume military strikes against Iran if negotiations with Tehran continue to make progress and both sides reach what he described as a “strong agreement.”

In a phone interview on Sunday, Trump said the United States had nevertheless identified infrastructure targets, including 38 bridges, that could be struck if military action resumes.

The comments come amid regional concerns over the possibility of renewed large-scale conflict between the United States and Iran.

Meanwhile, Trump is scheduled to meet Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani at the White House on Monday, according to his official schedule.

Drone Attack on Iraqi Gas Field Triggers Power Outages

A drone attack targeted the strategic Khor Mor gas field in Iraq’s semi-autonomous Kurdistan region late Sunday, officials said.

No casualties were reported, and the extent of the damage was not immediately clear. However, the attack forced the facility offline, causing widespread power outages.

Khor Mor is one of the most productive natural gas fields in northern Iraq. Its output is used to supply fuel to power plants in the region.

No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.
