President Donald Trump stated that his choices regarding Iran come down to a significant military escalation or negotiating an agreement.
“Choices are available.” Should we proceed to attack them decisively and eliminate them permanently? Or would we prefer to attempt to strike a bargain? “Those are the options,” Trump stated, affirming he had gotten an updated briefing on military options from US Central Command the previous evening.
Trump expressed that he would prefer not to resume the bombing campaign.
“I would personally prefer not to,” he stated at the White House. “But that’s the choice: should we go in forcefully and just eliminate them or should we take a different approach?”
