Trump Says He Is Unlikely to Launch an Attack on Iran If Nuclear Talks Make Progress.

US President Donald Trump said on Sunday that he was highly unlikely to order fresh strikes against Iran if negotiations aimed at ending the conflict continue to make progress, CNN reported.

"It depends on whether or not they sign a very strong agreement," Trump told CNN in a phone interview. "The answer is, highly unlikely it's going to be necessary."

While CNN did not clarify the exact question posed to Trump, the US president also claimed that Washington had identified potential infrastructure targets in Iran, including 38 bridges that could be destroyed "in literally one hour."
