Trump suggests US may launch further attacks against Iran
Summary
US President Donald Trump suggested Washington may launch more attacks on Iran. He told reporters the strikes "should have been done a long time ago by other presidents" and that the US has "knocked the hell out of them", adding that it "may do it a little bit further". Asked about public reaction to the war on Iran, he said that in one way people "love it" and in another "maybe they don't", and acknowledged a cost: "There's a price to pay, which I knew immediately when I did it. But we can't let Iran have a nuclear weapon." At a rally in Florida on Friday, he said Washington might carry out another military operation against Iran. Asked about comments by US Ambassador to Turkey Tom Barrack that the US could "absolutely" strike Iran as soon as this weekend, Trump said: "If that's the case, I don't know anything about it." He also said: "If they're smart, they will just say, 'Let's get down to business.'"
