US President Donald Trump said Monday that further military action against Iran did not appear necessary at this stage, while warning that Washington was prepared to act if the situation changed, Anadolu Agency reported.
“At this point, taking military action doesn’t seem to be a very necessary thing — but we’re locked and loaded, ready to go for any reason,” Trump told reporters at the White House.
He said Israel and the wider Middle East were protected from what he called the Iranian “danger and threat.”
“We’re seeing momentum toward the end of this conflict. I think it’s going to be ending fairly soon,” Trump said, adding that the United States was “just keeping it the status quo.”
“I don’t guarantee anything, but if we do have to go back in, we are locked and loaded,” he said.
Trump said he hoped the United States would be able to reach a deal with Iran.
“But nothing’s going to happen. And if we have to, we’ll take it very serious. We are so loaded. We just have another aircraft carrier. It’s all loaded up to the gills with brand-new, beautiful stuff,” he added.
“And hopefully, we don’t have to use them.”
