Donald Trump assessed the likelihood of a full-scale war between the US and Iran during his presidency.
The politician pursued a tough policy towards Tehran during his first term. Now he can continue along the previously planned path.
While Trump is only just preparing to officially return to the White House, he is still communicating with the press and sharing his plans for the next four years.
During another conversation with journalists, the politician answered a question about the likelihood of war with Iran, Time reports.
The newly elected US President did not give a detailed answer, but said thoughtfully: “Anything is possible.”
During Trump's first term, the United States withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal.
This agreement between the US, Iran, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany limited Tehran's nuclear program. In return, the country could count on the lifting of economic sanctions.
Experts noted in December 2024 that Iran was as close as possible to creating its own nuclear weapons.
