Trump: We have no "immediate" plans to strike Iran

US President Donald Trump said the United States has no "immediate" plans to strike Iran, in an interview with the Financial Times, playing down speculation about a military escalation after the midterm elections. He expressed satisfaction with the current situation with Iran while stressing readiness to act "if necessary", and said indirect talks continue over about 400 kilograms of enriched uranium. He noted that oil volumes through the Strait of Hormuz are now larger than before the war and that the US blockade of Iranian ports is squeezing Tehran's economy.
