Asked about his options regarding Iran, US President Donald Trump says he has a choice between pursuing a deal or resuming military strikes.

“Right now we have negotiations going on, but they’re not going anywhere,” he tells reporters. “Do we want to go and just blast the hell out of them and finish them forever, or do we want to try and make a deal? I mean, those are the options”

Asked if he wants to resume strikes, Trump says, “On a human basis, I’d prefer not.”
