US President Donald Trump has said the United States was ready to proceed with further attacks on Tehran if Iran did not agree to a peace deal, but suggested Washington could wait a few days to “get the right answers”, Reuters reports.

“Believe me, if we don’t get the right answers, it goes very quickly. We’re all ready to go,” he said at Joint Base Andrews.

Asked how long he would wait, Trump said, “It could be a few days, but it could go very quickly.”
