Trump says Iran war is ‘effectively over’ militarily with further strikes unlikely
According to BBC, US President Donald Trump said on Monday from the White House that Iran is militarily effectively over and that renewed US attacks are highly unlikely. Trump added that there is positive momentum behind negotiations to end the Middle East conflict and that the US is maintaining the status quo at the behest of neighbouring countries, though remaining locked and loaded. The remarks follow the US midterm election results and a drop in global oil prices. Iranian officials have previously expressed doubts about such remarks.
