Trump says he is considering a limited military strike on Iran
ConfirmedDiplomacy & politicsBackgroundWashington, United States
Asked on Friday whether he was weighing a limited strike, President Trump said, "I guess I can say I am considering that." A day earlier he said Iran had 10 to 15 days "pretty much maximum" to reach a nuclear deal and warned that "bad things will happen" without one.
Why it matters It put a public clock on the Oman-mediated nuclear talks while a second U.S. carrier and scores of warplanes were heading to the region, and officials had told Trump the military could be ready to strike within days.
