JERUSALEM, Israel – President Trump revealed that the U.S. stood just one hour away from launching another military strike against Iran before holding back for negotiations. Now, Tehran is issuing new demands, Congress is hearing fresh warnings about Iranian aggression, and the regime’s lawmakers are escalating threats against American and Israeli leaders.
As he has typically done over the past several weeks, Trump’s latest postponement came with a warning, and he commented, “I hope we don’t have to do the war, but we may have to give them another big hit.” Speaking at the White House on Tuesday, he stated, “I was an hour away. We were all set to go.” He added, “The boats, the ships were all loaded, they’re loaded to the brim, and we’re all set to start.” \
