President Donald Trump on Friday said he’s “considering” ordering airstrikes on Iran as a way to pressure the Iranian government into reaching a new agreement to curb the nuclear program the president claimed to have “obliterated” with a series of airstrikes last year.
Asked whether he was considering limited strikes from U.S. warplanes as a way to apply more pressure on Tehran amid intermittent negotiations during a breakfast meeting with U.S. governors, Trump replied: “I guess I can say I am considering that.”
