President Donald Trump said Sunday that he will likely decline to resume full-scale strikes against Iran, arguing that actions taken against the Middle Eastern country so far have crippled it economically.

Trump also reiterated that US forces had identified infrastructure targets, including 38 bridges, that could be attacked if military operations resumed.

Trump previously acknowledged that the highly unpopular war with Iran was at least partially responsible for the stinging defeat that his Republican Party suffered in the Nov 3 vote.
