Update: Trump says 'there will not be a strike today' on Iran, but weighs whether to 'finish the job' or make a deal
Asked by reporters Sunday whether a U.S. attack on Iran could come that day, President Trump said, "The answer is no. There will not be a strike today," without ruling out later action, The Jerusalem Post and Al Jazeera reported. Trump told Fox News his choice is whether to "finish it off, which would be very easy to do," or make a deal, and said there "isn't much activity" at Iran's Pickaxe Mountain nuclear site. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Tehran against attacking on Tuesday's Israeli Election Day, saying "Don't test us," the Washington Examiner reported.
