U.S. President Donald Trump told Axios on Monday that the United States was not in a hurry to decide whether to resume military action against Iran, Xinhua reported.
Trump said, “One way or the other, we will do something, but there is no rush. We crippled them financially. They have no money, no gasoline and their people are getting very tired of it,” according to the interview.
Times of Israel echoed the same statement, reporting that Trump highlighted the weakening of Tehran’s economy as he weighed future military options.
IBTimes also covered the interview, noting speculation that talks between the United States and Iran were progressing while Trump remained non‑committal about a strike.
