Trump rules out resuming strikes on Iran amid diplomatic tensions

U.S. President Donald Trump said that Washington is not currently considering renewed military strikes against Iran, following questions about a cancelled diplomatic mission to Pakistan.

According to Axios, Trump was asked whether the cancellation of a planned visit by his adviser Jared Kushner and special envoy Steve Witkoff to Pakistan signalled a possible resumption of attacks on Iran.

Responding to the question, the U.S. president ruled out any immediate escalation.

“No. It doesn't mean that. We haven't thought about it yet,” Trump said.
