DUBAI/WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that the United States may need to attack Iran again, and he was only an hour away from deciding on a strike before he postponed the attack.
Trump was speaking to reporters at the White House a day after saying he had paused a planned resumption of attacks following a new peace proposal by Tehran.
“I was an hour away from making the decision to go today,” Trump said on Tuesday.
He also said Iran’s leaders are begging to make a deal, but that a new US attack would happen in the coming days if one was not reached.
“Well, I mean, I’m saying two or three days, maybe Friday, Saturday, Sunday, something, maybe early next week, a limited period of time, because we can’t let them have a new nuclear weapon.”
