Trump tells Axios he is 'always thinking about' striking Iran

rawstory.com —

President Donald Trump told Axios on Sunday he is "always thinking about" resuming strikes against Iran, a day after rejecting Tehran's latest proposal to end the war. Trump's admission came in a phone call with Axios' Barak Ravid, where he also expected "more talks" with Iranian negotiators this week but accused Iran of having "overplayed their hand," suggesting a deal is unlikely soon. Trump has repeatedly threatened Iran, including a UN speech where he mused about annihilating the Islamic Republic, and told aides he expected to resume bombing after the midterms. Experts fear his economic-pressure strategy could backfire with deadly consequences.
