while Iran ties reopening the0:18Strait of Hormuz to its demands.0:20On October8, we reported Trump's assurance that America would protect its cities.0:25After his hypothetical references to Iranian attacks on Los Angeles and San Diego,0:31his latest comments leave further American attacks on Iran explicitly undecided.0:36Has his talk of remaining Iranian sites become a decision to attack, or is0:41diplomacy still shaping his next move?0:44Trump's reference to one or two sites dates to October31.0:48Those remarks appeared in coverage on November one.0:51His fresh statement came during election returns on November3, when he again left0:56further action conditional.0:57Trump spoke at a Halloween event at Mar-a-Lago, his estate in Palm Beach, Florida.1:03Asked about negotiations.1:05He described talks as going fine.1:07But said Iran was not very reliable.1:10He also claimed sweeping damage to Iran's capabilities.1:13He said American action had destroyed almost every piece of Iran's military1:17equipment, much of its manufacturing capability and its nuclear capability.1:22Those were Trump's assertions.1:24He didn't explain how he measured that damage.1:27Trump claimed one or two sites remained, and said they could be dealt with in ten1:31minutes.1:32That was his claim about American capability.1:35He gave no strike date and didn't announce an order to attack them.1:39Trump singled out Pickaxe Mountain, a suspected underground nuclear complex in Iran.1:45Iran's government denies nuclear work takes place there.1:48Trump said it needed attention, even as he claimed Iran's nuclear capability had1:53already been destroyed.1:54He hasn't explained what nuclear capability he believes remains there.1:59His description of destruction and his reference to unfinished work leave that2:03question unresolved.2:05Trump accused Iran of making deals.2:07And then backing out, and said America wasn't in a hurry.2:11He also said, We have a plan.2:14He still left the choice of whether to use force open.2:17Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on October31 that Trump hadn't decided on2:23fresh strikes and remained open to diplomacy.2:26Trump also spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu amid preparations2:32for renewed attacks.2:33Trump continued to describe military readiness alongside negotiations in a2:38six-minute telephone interview made public on November three.2:42He said, We're locked and loaded if we need to go, but there may be no reason for2:47it.2:47Trump said indirect discussions about Iran's enriched uranium stockpile were2:52continuing.2:53He also said, We seem to be getting everything we want.2:57By election night, he was still describing another attack as a choice he might make.3:02Trump again claimed Iran had been practically wiped out.3:05Then said, And maybe I will.3:07Or maybe I won't.3:09Maybe they'll get smart, and maybe they won't.3:12He announced no decision to attack the remaining sites.3:15Acknowledged Iran was part of the explanation for Republican election losses, while3:21defending the war as necessary to prevent an Iranian nuclear weapon.3:26That was his explanation of the vote and his justification for the war.3:30Separately, a U.S.3:32official said American forces carried out defensive strikes on Keshima Island3:36against missiles used against US assets.3:39Another official described those stri strikes as limited and said they didn't signal3:44a return to major combat operations.3:46Qatar said both governments were reviewing mediators'
