Ask what Korea is talking about.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday that renewed military strikes against Iran are "highly unlikely" so long as talks progress, telling CNN that it depends on whether Tehran signs a "very strong agreement," the Korea Times and Chosun Ilbo report. This follows Trump's acknowledgment that the eight-month-old Iran war contributed to the Republican Party's sweeping midterm losses, with Iran's supreme leader warning that the Middle East war would widen if the U.S. resumes attacks. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has defended the war as "courageous and historic" and vowed to fight impeachment efforts, while Trump has backed him as doing "a very good job."
