Trump weighs Iran options as US issues Middle East warnings
The United States issued new security warnings for Americans in the Middle East on Sunday, citing a volatile environment and potential for "unforeseen escalation" as President Donald Trump weighs his next steps in the conflict with Iran. Trump cut short a Camp David weekend and returned to the White House, telling Fox News he is in "deciding mode" with options including "wiping Iran out, letting them rot economically, or making a deal." Iran warned of "sustained retaliation" against US bases and interests, stating Washington's regional allies would be considered parties to any new conflict. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also shortened his US visit, while Pakistan's UN ambassador said PM Shehbaz Sharif will highlight Islamabad's mediatory role at the upcoming UN General Assembly session.
