Update: Trump says the U.S. could strike Iran 'tomorrow' or reach a deal; WSJ reports carrier crews loading munitions
President Trump told reporters Saturday the United States could strike Iran as soon as "tomorrow" or reach "a nice big beautiful agreement," saying he wants a permanent solution so Iran cannot build a nuclear weapon, Iran International reported. "I may have to finish it off. Or maybe they'll make a deal, but I'm not sure. Either way, we win," he said, according to the Associated Press. The Wall Street Journal reported sailors aboard the USS George Washington carrier strike group are loading munitions and readying aircraft, while an IRGC-linked outlet said Tehran has made no new offer on the Strait of Hormuz.
