President Donald Trump described U.S. options on Iran as either reaching a deal or taking military action against its leadership, in comments aired Sunday on Fox News Radio from an interview on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.”
“That’s the only question. Do I make a deal or do I finish him off?” Trump said.
Fox News Radio correspondent Paul Stevens, reporting on the interview, said at least one Iranian official indicated Iran remains open to negotiations with the United States. “At least one Iranian official says that country is still open to peace talks with the US,” Stevens said.
Stevens did not identify the Iranian official or provide the specific statement attributed to Iran, and the report did not specify whether Trump’s remark referred to Iran’s government, its leadership or another target.
Stevens said tensions remain high in the Middle East. The interview aired as part of Fox’s “Sunday Morning Futures” program.
