US president says Iran 'appears to be standing down'. FMTNews

President Trump repeated his promise not to allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon.

But both sides drew back from the brink, while Arab and other international leaders called for restraint.“The fact that we have this great military and equipment, however, does not mean we have to use it. We do not want to use it,” Trump told the nation after saying Iranian ballistic missiles fired in the early hours of Wednesday caused no casualties and limited damage.

The minister, Javad Zarif, said on Twitter that Iran did not “seek escalation or war, but will defend ourselves against any aggression”. Kataib Hezbollah, an Iran-backed militia the United States blamed for an attack in Iraq in December that killed a US contractor, said “amidst these conditions, passions must be avoided to achieve the desired results” of expelling US forces.
