Trump says military action against Iran may not be necessary

US President Donald Trump said military action against Iran may not be necessary, given Tehran's strong desire to reach an agreement, adding that the prospect of renewed conflict depends on Iran's readiness to sign a deal.

Trump added that US forces remain stationed in the region and are prepared to carry out any strike against Iran if he gives the order.

The US president noted that he does not favor destroying infrastructure in Iran, explaining that rebuilding bridges could take years, while claiming that Iran's military capabilities have significantly declined.

Trump said Iran has only 10% of its missile capability and 15% of its drone capacity remaining, adding that many of Iran's missile and drone factories have disappeared.

Trump stressed that avoiding military action remains possible if Iran agrees to a deal, emphasizing that the decision to resume hostilities depends on Tehran's approach to negotiations.
