TRUMP SAYS IRAN WAR ‘HIGHLY UNLIKELY’ TO RESUME

US President Donald Trump has said a resumption of hostilities with Iran is highly unlikely, offering a cautiously optimistic assessment of the situation amid ongoing tensions between Washington and Tehran.

Trump's remarks suggest that the United States does not currently expect a return to direct military confrontation, although uncertainties surrounding the relationship between both countries remain.

The conflict between the United States and Iran has raised concerns about regional stability, global energy supplies and the potential economic consequences of a prolonged military confrontation.

Iran's strategic position in the Middle East and its influence across the region have made tensions with Washington a major international security concern. Any escalation could also affect shipping routes, particularly the Strait of Hormuz, through which a significant proportion of the world's oil supply passes.

Trump's comments come as diplomatic efforts and political calculations continue to shape the prospects for maintaining calm between the two countries.

Despite the President's assessment, the situation remains dependent on developments involving both governments, including their military activities, diplomatic engagements and positions on outstanding disagreements.

A renewed conflict could have serious consequences for global oil prices, international trade and security across the Middle East.

For now, Trump's statement offers hope that further military escalation may be avoided, although sustained diplomatic engagement will be necessary to prevent tensions from developing into another confrontation.
