Nov 8 (Reuters) – US President Donald Trump on Sunday said ​he was highly ‌unlikely to order fresh attacks on Iran as long as talks ‌to ​end the ⁠conflict progress, ⁠CNN reported.

“It depends on whether or not they sign a very ​strong agreement,” CNN cited Trump ⁠as saying ⁠in a phone ​interview. “The answer is, highly ​unlikely it’s going to ‌be necessary.”

CNN did not specify exactly what it had asked ⁠Trump, who also said the US had identified ⁠potential ‌infrastructure targets. These ⁠included 38 bridges “that ​we ‌can knock down ​in ⁠literally one hour,” he said.
