US Ambassador Says Strike on Iran Could Happen This Weekend

naftemporiki.gr (Greek) —

US Ambassador to Turkey Tom Barrack said a US strike on Iran could "absolutely" happen as soon as this weekend, warning of consequences if diplomatic efforts fail. Barrack, also special envoy for Syria and Iraq, said President Trump remains open to a deal and negotiations have been ongoing for months. He stated the consequence would not be regime change but rebalancing to eliminate threats. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu recently told Trump of the need to topple Iran's regime. Barrack's comments echo Trump's stance that diplomacy is preferred, but threats to allies and the Gulf region would bring consequences.
