US envoy says strikes on Iran possible this weekend

ndtv.com —

The United States could strike Iran as soon as this weekend, according to US envoy Tom Barrack, who said "absolutely" when asked about the possibility on Friday. Barrack, the US ambassador to Turkey, noted President Donald Trump remains open to a deal after months of negotiations, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to topple Iran's clerical state ahead of Tuesday's elections. The threats follow two major bombing campaigns against Iran since last year, though Trump previously said strikes would not occur before US congressional elections on November 3.
