President Donald Trump on Monday told reporters that military action by the United States against Iran did not currently seem necessary.

“At this point … taking the military action doesn’t seem to be a very necessary thing. But we’re locked and loaded, ready to go for any reason that changes,” Trump told reporters.

“I think it’s going to be ending fairly soon,” he said, referring to the conflict against Tehran.
