WASHINGTON -- US President Donald Trump said Tuesday the United States may strike Iran again, claiming he was only an hour away from deciding on an attack before postponing it at the request of US allies in the Gulf.

US President Donald Trump said leaders from Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE had urged him to delay the attack because they believed a deal could still be reached.

US president says he halted attack after Gulf leaders urged restraint, but warns military remains ready for large-scale assault
