Trump does not rule out the possibility of striking Iran

President Trump refused to say outright on Wednesday whether he would order US forces to attack Iran's nuclear facilities, suggesting the possibility that he had not yet decided whether to join the war between Iran and Israel.

"I might do it," he told reporters on the White House lawn. "I might not do it. I mean, nobody knows what I'm going to do," The New York Times reports. 

Trump said Iran wants to negotiate, but reiterated his view that it should have done so earlier. "Why didn't you negotiate with me before all this death and destruction?" he said. "Why didn't you negotiate? I told people, 'Why didn't you negotiate with me two weeks ago? You could have done better. You would have had a seat.'"

In fact, Iran had been in negotiations with the United States, but had not bowed to the White House's demands.

In response to a question about whether it was now too late to negotiate, Trump said: "Nothing is too late."

In an appearance on the White House lawn, President Trump refused to answer a question about whether the United States would strike Iranian nuclear facilities. “I might,” he said. “I might not. I mean, nobody knows what I’m going to do.”

Six days after the start of the war with Iran, Israel is lifting some restrictions on its civilians. More people can return to office work, provided their workplaces have access to safe rooms or shelters, and gatherings of up to 30 people will be allowed, according to a statement from the Home Front Command, the Israeli military unit responsible for issuing guidelines for civilians.
