In brief
In a phone interview, President Trump said he's not in a hurry to decide whether to reignite strikes on Iran, noting the country's financial woes. Multiple outlets echo his remarks, emphasizing US economic pressure and the likelihood of an eventual action.
In a phone interview with Axios on Monday, President Donald Trump said he was "in no rush" to decide whether to resume military action against Iran, adding that the United States had crippled the country financially and that Tehran had no money or gasoline. Trump also mentioned his people were tired of the situation, indicating a sense of weariness with prolonged conflict.
Axios reports the remarks were made during a Monday call, with Trump stating the United States would do something one way or another, but that there was no rush to make a decision.
"One way or the other, we will do something, but there is no rush. We crippled them financially. They have no money, no gasoline, and their people are getting very tired of it," Trump said.
Times of Israel echoes Trump's stance, describing him as saying US economic pressure is weakening Tehran and that the administration would act if a decision were reached, again highlighting the lack of urgency.
IBTimes also reports that Trump indicated no rush to decide whether to resume attacks against Iran, recalling speculation about progress in negotiations, but does not confirm any upcoming strikes.
The statements remain unconfirmed regarding any imminent military action. No evidence from any source indicates that new strikes have already taken place or that a specific timeline has been set. The discussion about ongoing negotiations between the United States and Iran has also not been independently corroborated.
