Trump says renewed strikes on Iran could be 'five times bigger' as he holds off for now
Summary
US President Donald Trump said on Monday he plans to hold off on new military strikes against Iran for the time being, after appeals from countries in the region, including from Qatar's prime minister in White House talks. In a phone interview with C-SPAN's Washington Journal Primetime, he said renewed attacks could be 'five times bigger' than previous strikes on the country, and boasted of having 'wiped out' Iran's navy, air force, anti-aircraft capabilities and its leaders. Trump said Iran wants a deal, though it does not say so publicly, and that Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Kuwait would rather reach a deal than see another hit.
