President Trump threatened Iran with a 'big hit' if Tehran does not make a deal soon, following a planned military strike that was called off to allow for further negotiations.
President Trump is increasingly outsourcing his policymaking to U.S. allies in the Middle East, while the White House appears unable to find a simple way to end the fighting and reopen global shipping lanes held by Tehran.
Following the suspension of a planned attack on Iran, President Trump held a high-level meeting with his top national security team to review military options, indicating ongoing tensions and deliberations over diplomatic versus military strategies.
