US President Donald Trump has said the United States has no plans to strike Iran in the near future, according to Report.
The remark follows days of reports that the US was preparing possible strikes, and comes as Democrats take control of Congress. Iran's parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said Americans had said no to war at the ballot box.
Why it matters: this is the clearest public softening of the strike talk so far. For the Gulf and for Turkiye, which would feel any conflict first, the difference between imminent strikes and no imminent strikes is the difference between bracing for war and keeping a door open for talks.
