Trump says 'not in a rush' for military option against Iran
US President Donald Trump on Thursday said he is "not in a rush" to take military action against Iran's nuclear facilities but did not confirm a New York Times report that he had intervened to prevent an Israeli strike.
"I wouldn't say 'waved off,'" he said, in reference to the Times report that he told the Israelis he would not support strikes.
"I'm not in a rush to do it because I think that Iran has a chance to have a great country," he added. "That's my first option. If there's a second option, I think it would be very bad for Iran and I think Iran is wanting to talk. I hope they're wanting to talk."
