Trump says he may need to 'destroy the rest' of Iran

cnnbrasil.com.br (Portuguese) —

US President Donald Trump said Thursday he may need to "destroy the rest" of Iran, warning that a decision on next steps will be announced soon. He made the remarks during an Oval Office press conference when asked about Iran's nuclear program. Trump claimed Iran will take 25 years to rebuild and stated Tehran will never possess a nuclear weapon. Meanwhile, Iran sent a nuclear proposal via Qatar, which will only be discussed after Washington meets seven Iranian demands, according to a senior Iranian official. Mediators are intensifying efforts to end the US-Iran war amid fears of renewed conflict after the US midterm elections. The dispute centers on Iran's insistence on enriching uranium domestically, which the US distrusts despite Iran's claims of peaceful intentions.
