Wire reporting: (Reuters, via Al-Monitor)

President Donald Trump said in a CNN phone interview that he is highly unlikely to order new U.S. attacks on Iran if negotiations to end the conflict move forward, Al-Monitor reported in a Reuters dispatch and Middle East Eye reported separately^1,2.

Al-Monitor's Reuters copy dated the comments to Sunday¹. Middle East Eye dated them to Wednesday and said the talks concern Iran's nuclear program and reopening the Strait of Hormuz².

Middle East Eye quoted Trump as saying, "It depends on whether or not they sign a very strong agreement," and that he would act if necessary after earlier U.S. strikes².

Both accounts said he identified 38 Iranian bridges as possible targets that could be hit in about an hour^1,2. Middle East Eye said he also cited three aircraft carriers in the region as ready for use².

Middle East Eye said Trump claimed Iran still has about 10 percent of its missile capacity and 15 percent of its drone capabilities². Al-Monitor's Reuters copy did not include those figures¹.

The original Reuters page was not accessible for this filing³. CNN's full interview transcript was not among the assigned sources. Whether talks produce an agreement, and whether the United States would resume strikes, remains unknown^1,2.
