🔺President Trump: We have no immediate plan to attack the Islamic Republic

▪The U.S. president dismissed speculation about the expansion of the war after the midterm election and, at the same time, emphasized that his forces are prepared for military action.

▪Donald Trump told The Financial Times that we have no plan for an immediate attack and “it seems we get what we want.”

▪He responded to signs from Benjamin Netanyahu for an attack this week by saying “I’m ready, we’re ready. The bullets are in the chamber, that if we need to go, we go, but there may not be a reason for it.”

▪Mr. Trump described the current situation as “excellent,” counted the passage of oil through the Strait of Hormuz as increasingly a way of avoiding war, and added that a naval blockade of ports has paralyzed the economy of the Islamic Republic.
