Trump: We remain ready to launch a broad attack on Iran if it does not carry out what we want

U.S. President Donald Trump affirmed that the United States remains prepared to launch a broad attack on Iran. Trump told the French channel LCI on Saturday, “We are still ready to launch a broad attack on Iran if they do not carry out what we want.” He added, “A temporary halt to strikes does not mean we have backed down.” This comes after Axios, citing sources, reported that progress had been made in talks and that an agreement between Iran and the Sultanate of Oman regarding the Strait of Hormuz could be reached over the weekend. The website added that President Trump did not give the green light on Friday to carry out strikes on Iran, after he had been approving attack plans daily.
