Trump says new Iran strikes unlikely if talks progress
President Trump told CNN on Sunday that ordering fresh strikes on Iran is "highly unlikely" if Tehran signs a strong agreement covering its nuclear program and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Trump said three US aircraft carriers are in the region and that 38 bridges are identified as potential targets. Iranian FM Araghchi said mediator travel has stopped since the "shock" of the US midterms.

The split, in one line
Most outlets relay Trump's "highly unlikely" quote straight; a few add that shipping was hit in Hormuz and that talks have stalled since the midterms, undercutting the de-escalation headline.
