US President Donald Trump on Monday said that the situation with Iran remains “in flux,” saying he has deployed a “big armada” to the region even as he believes Tehran genuinely wants to strike a deal.
White House officials said an attack was still on the table after Trump came close to ordering a strike on regime targets in Iran earlier this month over the killing of thousands of protesters. Instead, he delayed the decision while also moving military assets to the region, though the protests were largely suppressed.
