Donald Trump said renewed US attacks or hostilities against Iran would be highly unlikely, or probably unnecessary, if talks continued to advance. But he did not rule out further attacks, saying the decision would depend on whether Iran signed a very strong agreement.

Trump made the remarks in an interview with CNN’s Jim Sciutto, according to The Hill’s account of CNN reporting. The comments offer a conditional assessment rather than an announcement that military action has been ruled out: progress in negotiations would reduce the likelihood of renewed attacks, while failure to secure the required agreement would leave the possibility open.

The Hill reported that the conditions discussed in the talks included Iran’s nuclear program and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Those details are attributed to its account of CNN reporting and are not included in the supplied summaries from the other three outlets.

The available reporting describes negotiations as continuing or potentially advancing, but it does not establish a confirmed schedule or completed status. The reports also contain differing assessments of the talks, making their precise state unclear.

The sources do not establish that Iran has signed the strong agreement Trump described. Nor do they independently confirm a completed agreement or an official change in US military planning, so the statement remains a conditional signal tied to the outcome of negotiations rather than evidence of a settled policy.
