US President Donald Trump stated in an interview with the Financial Times that his administration has no immediate plans to launch a strike against Iran. However, Trump emphasized that American forces remain alert and prepared for action should the need arise. According to the President, the American position toward Tehran is "brilliant" and the US is achieving its objectives in indirect negotiations, which also include discussions regarding Iran's enriched uranium stockpile.

This was reported by Maariv and Walla following the interview, which was published against the backdrop of reports regarding the possibility of American strikes following the conclusion of the US midterm elections. Vice President JD Vance noted earlier that there had been conversations with Iranian representatives mediated by Qatar. Further details have not yet been released.
