Ask what Korea is talking about.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on November 8 that renewed military strikes against Iran are "highly unlikely" if talks progress, telling CNN in a 20-minute phone interview that it depends on whether Iran signs a "very strong agreement," as reported by Chosun Ilbo and Kyunghyang Shinmun. He repeated "very low" five times, warning that additional military action could follow if Iran does not meet U.S. demands on its nuclear program and the Strait of Hormuz, according to Dong-A Ilbo. This follows Trump's acknowledgment that the eight-month Iran war contributed to Republicans' sweeping midterm losses, with Vice President JD Vance urging Republicans to be "honest" about it, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth vowing to defend the war as "courageous and historic," per Korea Times and KBS World. Iran's supreme leader warned on November 5 that the Middle East war would widen if the U.S. resumes attacks, dismissing hopes of a policy shift after the midterm blow.
