‘Considering A Military Strike…’: Trump

Trump on Thursday issued a warning to Iran while speaking at the inaugural meeting of the Board of Peace in Washington DC. He stressed that the Middle Eastern country must agree on the nuclear deal, otherwise “bad things will happen”. Coaxing Tehran to join the US on a “path to peace”, Trump said, “We have to make a meaningful deal with Iran…Good talks are being had. It’s proven to be, over the years, not easy to make a meaningful deal with Iran…Iran must make a deal or bad things will happen."

Trump reiterated his stance on Friday, saying he is “considering” a military strike if Iran does not make a deal.

Meanwhile, US media has reported that a military strike on Iran can be expected as early as this weekend.
